Real-time Linux in real time

The increasing market demand for systems characterized by low-latency, deterministic behavior and the emphasis on the use of commodity hardware and software have led to a new breed of real-time operating systems (OSs), known as enterprise real-time OSs. In response to the demand for accelerated access to such features in a Linuxâ„¢ kernel, the IBM Linux and Javaâ„¢ Technology Centers collaborated to provide the first commercially available enterprise real-time Linux kernel with real-time Java support. Extending the PREEMPT RT patch from Ingo Molnar of Red Hat, Inc., the kernel contains additional features that were required to meet the demands of enterprise real-time OS customers. This paper describes how IBM developers helped to direct, implement, and test the real-time Linux kernel, bringing it from software patches to a finished produc

Google Makes Mobile Search Faster, Sort Of

Google (NSDQ: GOOG) is making a pretty big deal out of this. It wrote on its blog this morning that they “are obsessed with making your mobile search experience as fast as possible,� so, they updated their mobile homepage to load much faster. They did this by allowing google.com to cache in the browser, so that when you return a second time, it loads almost instantly. I tried it out on my Blackberry Curve, and sure enough, the second time I loaded the search page, it was much faster. And although, this is nice, it’s not the page loading that drives me nuts. It’s the actual search process that takes a long time, and that’s not getting any faster. Besides, I hardly ever go to Google.com in my browser since I have a standalone widget for it on my phone.

Time Warner Would Quickly Deploy Network DVR if Allowed - Copyright concerns could delay court approval for a long time, though

Earlier this week the cable television industry received some good news when a court overturned a previous ruling that had forbidden Cablevision from deploying network DVR. The battle is far from over; additional court review is necessary to debate the issue of how network DVR would threaten copyright laws. However, if the courts do decide that cable companies can move forward with this service, Time Warner Cable will be on board. Much of the underlying technology is already in place so Time Warner believes that it would be possible to deploy network DVR fairly quickly once approval comes from the courts.

Blogs: RFP Review: Star Wars: The Clone Wars (***)

Going back to its serial roots, this new STAR WARS adventure feels like a chapter in a continuing story while standing on its own as an individual story. Unlike PHANTOM MENACE it stands on its own. Not only the animation moves this installment into a new direction. The light blue “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away� is still present, but the signature text crawl has been replaced by a Gary Owen-ish announcer, filling us in on what has preceded this story. Big on action and pun-filled banter, this film reminded me of the fun I had with SKY CAPTAIN more than any of the STAR WARS prequels.

The Right Time for Real Time Java

Faced with the demands of mission-critical applications, many enterprise developers have pushed the Java language and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to the limit. The most common issue seen in transactional environments is achieving predictable response time or latency – in other words, the time it takes the system to respond to a request or to move a transaction through the IT infrastructure. In such environments, Garbage Collection (GC) moves from being a valued feature to a major headache.

ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT

That this House congratulates the Government on successfully introducing the Artist's Resale Right in 2006; notes that under the new right the Design and Artists Copyright Service has so far collected more than £5.2 million on behalf of more than 1,500 artists, who have now received royalties with an average payment of £501 per work of art; believes this has strengthened the flourishing British art market by supporting struggling artists; and considers that the right should be extended to the estates of deceased artists as soon as possible without extending the current derogation beyond 2010.

An Introduction to Real-Time Java Technology

Real-time computing is often associated with high speed, but this is only one part of the picture. At its core, real-time computing is about predictability -- the knowledge that the system will always perform within the required time frame. The deadlines involved need not be very short -- though they sometimes are -- and the consequences of missing a deadline may not be dire -- though they sometimes are. The key to whether an application is a real-time one has to do with whether its requirements include temporal constraints.

Newbie w/used PDA needs WLAN driver, has McAfee issues! Good stuff on this site....

I've had to try and hit the ground running because I really needed this PDA, so I'm trying to learn as I go, short on time. I don't need the Wi-Fi big time yet, but it WILL help down the road, SO: When I first acquired this Axim the WLAN utility was up and running (just not with my home network, I'll get to that.) But now status bar says the driver is not loaded. It's out of warranty, says previous owner, and the driver is not on list at support.dell.com. Anyone know where I can get the driver? I checked here, don't see it.

PS3 Now EA's Single Biggest Seller

This time last year, sales of PS3 games accounted for only $13 million of EA’s total net revenue. But this time this year? PS3 games account for $139 million in sales. Which is a 969% increase, and is miles ahead of 360 sales, which "only" made the company $81 million. Don’t bother asking us how this happened, we have no idea. As for the other systems, the PC was the second-biggest earner at $86 million (perhaps contributing to EA Sport’s about-face), with PS2 sales just behind the 360 at $79 million. If you’re after the information path less trodden, click through for the full breakdown, which includes stuff like DS and mobile sales.
