Realtime Products

The Realtime Products Technical Summary (Fifth Edition) provides an overview of Digital Equipment Corporation's hardware and software offerings designed for realtime computing environments. The document covers a wide range of solutions, including:

• Development Environments: Details on DECelx (realtime tools for ULTRIX), the VAXELN Toolkit, VMS realtime services, and the DEC OSF/1 realtime kernel.
• Languages: Support for high-level languages like Ada (VAX Ada, VAXELN Ada, XD Ada), C, C++, FORTRAN, and Pascal across various platforms.
• Integration Tools: Overviews of the COHESION environment, VMS and UNIX CASE tools, DECfactory products (BASEstar, DECmessageQ, DEComni, DECosap, @aGlance), and the DEC Realtime Integrator (a graphical, icon-based development environment).
• Hardware: Coverage of rtVAX products, single-board computers (like the KAV30), VAXstation and DECstation product families, and various I/O options (Q22-bus, SCSI, TURBOchannel, VAXBI).
• Standards: Information on support for industry standards, including POSIX, X Window System, and manufacturing standards like MMS.

The document is intended for computer professionals investigating realtime solutions on Digital hardware platforms (VAX, MIPS, and Alpha).
