About this title

Synopsis

This practical guide provides a solid grounding in the use of the Real-Time Specification for Java. Dibble, the Specification Lead for the RTSJ, starts with an overview of real-time issues. He then explains how to use each major feature of the RTSJ with numerous working examples and code patterns. From broad real-time principles to the details of important programming pitfalls, Real-Time Java Platform Programming covers everything you need to know to build effective RT programs. Topics include: interoperability with non-RT code, trade-offs in real-time development, garbage collection, non-heap access, scoped and immortal memory, use of the raw memory access classes to operate hardware devices, priority scheduling, deadline scheduling, rate monotonic analysis, periodic threads, deadline miss handlers, asynchronous events, timers, asynchronous transfer of control and recommended programming practices.
