Abstract
This chapter provides a detailed description of the concept of a fully preemptive real-time operating system, based on AT&T’s UNIX System V. Special emphasis is given to the features added to the UNIX system to provide support for real-time programming needs. The concept and the detailed real-time capabilities described in this chapter were used as the basis for the development of the REAL/IX operating system, MODCOMP’s real-time UNIX operating system [Furh89b, Gros90, Furh90a]. Therefore, the name REAL/IX operating system is used for the real-time UNIX operating system throughout this chapter.
