RTS Hypervisor now supports Windows 8 and 64-Bit operating systems
Real-Time Systems, affi liate member of the Intel Intelligent Systems Alliance and a leader in embedded virtualization and real-time hypervisor technology announced today the general availability of its new Release V4.0.03 of the RTS Hypervisor, a software product allowing the execution of Real- Time Operating Systems (RTOS) now in parallel to 64-Bit Operating Systems like Linux or Windows™ 8 on a single hardware platform. Deterministic behavior remains fully intact. The newly released Version 4.0.03
of the RTS Hypervisor, facilitating deployment of multiple independent operating systems (OS) on a single Intel x86 based computer, now provides the possibility to run 64- Bit Operating Systems completely unmodifi ed in parallel to other operating systems like an RTOS. The new version of the Hypervisor now includes support for all current Versions of Microsoft® Windows™ including Windows 8. Gerd Lammers, CEO of Real-
Time Systems explains: “Many of our customers these days source their PCs with a pre-installed 64-Bit operating system or they wish to use more than 4GB of memory directly. One of our strengths is that we are not tied to any particular operating system vendor and that we can offer an OS agnostic product. With this new version of our product, customers may now freely choose which operating systems they wish to use.” By partitioning processor cores,
memory and I/O devices into individual, virtually independent computers, the RTS Hypervisor facilitates hardware consolidation and helps to drastically reduce overall system cost without tradeoffs. Medical devices or machines that currently
24 EIU
use an embedded hardware board in parallel to a computer executing e.g. Microsoft Windows can now safely be merged into a single Intel multi-core hardware, greatly reducing design-, manufacturing- and maintenance costs. Other combinations of executing multiple of the same or different operating systems are simply a matter of available CPU cores. Executing three instances of the same RTOS in parallel to Microsoft™ Windows® on a Quad-Core processor is just one of the many possibilities the RTS Hypervisor offers. Due to strict separation of the hardware partitions, individual
operating systems can boot independently in a user defi ned order. Even rebooting an operating system while others keep running is possible with the RTS Hypervisor. For easy communication between operating systems, shared memory as well as an Event System and a TCP/IP virtual network are available. Out of the box, the RTS Hypervisor
currently supports all major operating systems used on x86 and all current Intel x86 platform, ranging from small Atom based board to high-end server boards. For more information visit:

5 Watt DC/DC converter boasts cold start up of -55°C
Many outdoor applications fail simply because one or more of their internal components are not designed to operate at below -45°C. Aimtec’s new 5 watt DC/DC converters series, AM5E-FZ, operates at -55°C to
+85°C, without derailing, to support all outdoor applications, including those potentially exposed to severe temperature conditions. Such applications include solar inverters, smart meters, transmission equipment and security systems. AM5E-FZ series offers 21 models including wide, 2:1 input ranging from 9
to 72VDC, stepping down to single or dual output ranges of 3.3 to 15VDC, at effi ciency rates as high as 87%. Design engineers will appreciate the tight line and load regulation of 0.5%(single output models), ensuring that stable voltages are delivered throughout the operating range, under all loading conditions. With a fi xed switching frequency of 300KHz, designs using the AM5E-FZ
series benefi t from a simplifi ed fi lter design process, which also translates to more compact fi lters – an important consideration for many applications. Other design value features include I/O isolation of 1.5KVDC, continuous short circuit protection, over load and voltage protection, all housed in a compact 2”x1” case which stands only 0.40” high.
