MaxRT wRTOS provides determinism or hard real-time on multi-core x86 processors while co-resident with the Windows operating system. MaxRT wRTOS enhances Windows by providing hard real-time scheduler and control capabilities to a general purpose operating system that is familiar to both developers and end users. The wRTOS Runtime is deployed on your target system with your real-time application.
wRTOS consists of a separate real-time Subsystem (RTSS) that schedules and controls all RTSS applications independently of Windows. The combined solutions deliver a world-class user experience, outperform real-time hardware, and reduce the development costs for systems that require determinism or hard real-time. Symmetric multiprocessing-enabled wRTOS takes full advantage of 64-bit memory and performance capabilities. Uniquely, the wRTOS RTOS scheduler enables embedded real-time applications to directly access the 512GB of addressable physical memory available on 64-bit Windows. This is critical to modern-day real-time systems and represents a gigantic leap from the 4GB physical memory limit of traditional 32-bit Windows systems. The 4GB barrier has stymied innovation in many industries that depend on real-time systems and that require memory access far beyond 4GB.

Note: Real-time systems are sometimes classified as hard or soft real-time systems. A hard real-time system is one in which the response time determinism requirement is absolute; for a soft real-time system, some small deviations are tolerated. IntervalZero believes that there should be no tolerated deviations. When the phrase "real-time" appears in this documentation, it means hard real-time.
