Real-Time Programming (T4-CHOICE)

The Real-Time Programming course for the POWER Series, Onyx, and CHALLENGE teaches programmers the techniques required to write programs that take advantage of the real-time capabilities of SGI's multiprocessor workstations. Students will also learn how to optimize and tune their programs and systems to increase performance.

Topics

Architecture Overview
IRIX Real-Time Simulations
Using Memory Mapped Drivers
Real-Time Interfaces in C and Fortran
Basic Interprocess Communications
Program Performance Analysis
System Performance Tuning

Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to...

Create programs for a guaranteed response time
Tune programs and systems for real-time operation

Prerequisites

This course is intended for...

Programmers who are familiar with real-time applications, including visual simulation, flight simulation, process control, or high speed data acquisition and analysis
C or Fortran skills are necessary

Note: The student is over-qualified if he/she already writes and tunes applications using SGI's REACT software.
