| Summary: | Build powerful real-time Java platform applications. The authoritative reference to the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ)-by one of its creators Complete introduction to Java-based RT development-no real-time experience necessary Covers scheduling, asynchronous transfer control, timers, non-heap memory, garbage collection, performance tradeoffs, program structure, and more Written for experienced Java platform developers, this practical guide provides a solid grounding in real-time programming. Dibble, a member of the RTSJ expert group, starts with an overview of real-time issues unique to the Java platform. He then explains how to use each major feature of the RTSJ. From broad real-time principles to detailed programming pitfalls, Real-Time Java Platform Programming covers everything you need to know to build effective RT programs. Key topics include: Interoperability with non-RT code, tradeoffs in real-time development, and RT issues for the JVMtm software Garbage collection, non-heap access, physical and "immortal" memory, and constant-time allocation of non-heap memory Priority scheduling, deadline scheduling, and rate monotonic analysis Closures, asynchronous transfer of control, asynchronous events, and timers State-of-the-art information for RT developers: Threads scheduling Real-time scheduling Raw memory access Performance tradeoffs Recommended practices Implementation hints Dozens of code examples and step-by-step walk-throughs
