Wind River has an updated version of VxWorks,
the embedded real-time operating system (RTOS). The latest VxWorks is a
commercial RTOSes that includes improved multi-core processing support. VxWorks
now delivers 64-bit support both in data and code execution that was once the
sole domain of supercomputer and server markets. For telecommunications network
infrastructure equipment manufacturers, 64-bit computing is critical in keeping
up with the stresses of increasingly exploding data. Other vertical industries
use 64-bit support, for example, for industrial and medical applications such
as high-definition imagery, and aerospace and defense applications such as
highly complex radar, sonar and sensors.
The
latest VxWorks delivers greater multi-core processing performance in both
symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and asymmetrical multiprocessing (AMP)
configurations. VxWorks platforms now bundle the Intel optimizing C++ compiler
and the Intel Performance Primitives (IPP) library for Intel architectures
only. This version of VxWorks now includes support for the ARM Cortex A9
processor, with a multi-core SMP and ARM Thumb-2 instruction set. This VxWorks
release also provides enhanced networking capabilities, including new security
features and increased Internet Engineering Task Force Request for Comments
(IETF RFC) support. Additionally, software development on VxWorks is enabled by
the Wind River Workbench development tools suite.
