Real Time Threads (RT Threads) is a threads package which provides real time
scheduling semantics, application portability to a variety of host operating systems
and hardware architectures, and support for distributed application programming
via location transparent message passing between threads in distinct address spaces.
RT Threads was initially designed as a programming environment for the development
of the Continuous Media File System (CMFS), a distributed multimedia
application requiring real time scheduling of asynchronous tasks. In particular, real
time scheduling is required for timely disk reading and network transmission of continuous
media data at the server nodes, as well as for synchronization of multiple
media streams at clients. The goal of this thesis is to show that RT Threads has
performance characteristics making it practical for use both as a general purpose
threads package, and as a platform for developing applications requiring real time
scheduling. In fact, it will be shown that RT Threads peforms acceptably well (for
non-critical applications), even in a non-real time operating system environment. / Science, Faculty of / Computer Science, Department of / Graduate
