Re: Add javax.* packages

2000-11-20 Thread Erik Hu




Hi Philippe 
 
Based on RTSJ (www.rtj.org) proposal, I have recently modified 
Kaffe for real-time applications. The previous implementation has created a 
javax.realtime package and modified the Kaffe VM for real-time purpose 
(jthread) under Linux. The modification of Kaffe VM includes the 
priority inheritance protocol, management of RealtimeThread and 
PeriodicThread, and other modifications. 
 
In fact, the previous version was missing the 
memory modifications and some other classes of the RTSJ specification. I also 
simplified the creation of javax.realtime package into Klasses.jar 
(Klasses.jar = java.lang.* + javax.realtime.*).    
 
Now, Cris is going to complete some lacking parts of my previous 
implementation and separate the javax.realtime package from Klasses.jar. 
 
Could you please tell us your current achievement of pthreads porting 
for Real-time applications ?  When will the ptherad 
real-time of Kaffe be merged into traditional Open Kaffe VM ? 
 
Regards,
Erik

  Hi,  I am very interested in this 
  project. Can you share what modifications you made, and what are your goals? 
  I have recently done the pthreads soft real-time port of Kaffe under linux. 

  Thank you, --

Hi,
 well it is not real real-time -:), but rather,
the threads are scheduled within the real-time scheduling class of Linux,
which is soft realtime.
I don't know when it will be merged in with the OpenVM version, although
this has been announced, so it should be in the near future.
In the mean-time I can send anyone the few files needed for soft real-time
on linux.
I do not have performance benchmarks yet, but I did get a significant
improvemnt on a single benchmark I use which I find to strain the mem alloc,
gc and string manipulation apsects of java performance.
Our ultimate goat at TVT is to have pocketlinux run under pthreads real-time.
Regards,

Surely the Makefile.in files are automatically generated

to mention the first time that I have also updated the configure.in
file.
I am sure I wish to do this as I'm implementing the javax.realtime
package on top of a modified kaffe.
