THE REAL/STAR 2000: A HIGH PERFORMANCE MULTIPROCESSOR COMPUTER FOR TELEMETRY APPLICATIONS

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / November 04-07, 1991 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, NevadaIn this paper we describe the design of the REAL/STAR 2000 system, a highperformance real-time computer for telemetry applications. The REAL/STAR 2000 is a symmetric, tightly-coupled multiprocessor, optimized for real-time processing. The system provides a high level of scalability and flexibility by supporting three configurations: single, dual, and quad processor configurations, based on Motorola 88100 RISC processors. The system runs the multiprocessor REAL/IX operating system, a real-time implementation of the AT&T UNIX System V. It compiles with BCS and OCS standards, meets the POSIX 1003.1 standard, and has the current functionality of the emerging POSIX 1003.4 real-time standard. The REAL/STAR 2000 promotes an open system approach to real-time computing by supporting major industry standards. Benchmark results are also presented in the paper.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
