IntervalZero

IntervalZero’s customer-centered philosophy, combined with more than three decades of embedded software innovation and the proven value of IntervalZero’s RTX and RTX64 hard real-time software, have enabled the company to build a global customer base of market-leading OEMs and end users in Industrial Automation, Medical Systems, Digital Media, Test & Measurement, Military & Aerospace, and other industries. IntervalZero’s success also stems from its expansive network of global trading Partners and its commitment to the Microsoft and Intel ecosystem. IntervalZero is a Microsoft Embedded Gold. IntervalZero seeks to provide the world’s leading RTOS platform based on its SMP-enabled RTX and RTX64 software, which is used for developing complex hard real-time systems that require a sophisticated user experience and that run on COTS hardware. IntervalZero’s RTX64 and RTX transform Windows RTOS into a real-time operating system (RTOS) and RTX64 can scale from 1 to 63 cores for dedicated real-time processing. Real-time applications running on 64-bit Windows with RTX64 can access 128GB of non-paged memory, depending on actual mapped physical RAM size. By comparison 32-bit Windows 7 has a non-paged memory limitation of 2GB. Overall, 64-bit Windows’ 512GB of physical memory dwarfs the 4GB physical memory limitation in 32-bit Windows. For complex, connected embedded systems that seek to take advantage of Windows’ world-class HMI and that also require determinism and hard-real time, RTX64 and RTX provide an RTOS that is tightly integrated with Windows. Where Windows provides timers with a maximum resolution – smallest granularity – of 1000 μs (1 millisecond), RTX64/RTX lower this to 1 μs where supported by the hardware. Notably, RTX64 and RTX extend the Windows operating system’s capabilities – without altering or modifying the Windows Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) – to deliver determinism and hard real- time performance without relying on latency-inherent virtualization approaches or unnecessarily complicated inter-process communications schemes. RTX64 is a key component of the IntervalZero RTOS Platform that comprises x86 and x64 multicore multiprocessors, Windows, and real-time Ethernet (e.g. EtherCAT or PROFINET) to outperform real-time hardware such as DSPs and radica
