Real-time and general-purpose operating systems unite via virtualization - Other

Virtualization for embedded systems has many implementations in which two or more operating systems coexist to gain the benefits of each. One approach puts Microsoft Windows and a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) together.

Allowing for GPOS and RTOS: The unique virtualization needs of mission-critical embedded systems - Story
September 23, 2009
The prevalence of multicore processors on the computing scene is now a fact of life, and OEMs are experimenting with ways to partition their applications on different processor cores. In the embedded computing world, this can mean hosting multiple, heterogeneous operating systems on the same processor chip at the same time. Thus, virtualization is key. While some Virtual Machine Managers (VMMs) blend only General Purpose Operating Systems (GPOSs), mission-critical virtualization schemes containing both Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOSs) and GPOSs present their own unique challenges. Chris reveals the finer points of virtualization and determinism, presents an example, then explains how legacy applications fit into the scenario.
