SPRINGNET: A Network of Multiprocessors for Hard Real-Time

Abstract

The Spring project has been very active in multiple areas of real-time computing. We have developed significant results in many aspects of real-time scheduling, in real-time operating system design, in real-time transactions, and in time constrained communication protocols. We have also made progress in implementing a software (simulation) testbed, in developing a hardware operating system kernel testbed called SpringNet, and in implementing real-time transactions on a hardware testbed called CARAT. We have also begun a substantial research effort concerning dependable real-time systems. In the following sections we provide a brief overview of the status and plans for the Spring project as a whole.
