Redmond taking tiny steps in realtime market. news off the net- "Nematron writing custom NT HAL for Real-time performance tuning" Microsoft has licensed real-time control specialist Nematron Corporation to write and distribute its own version of the NT hardware abstraction layer (HAL). Nematron plans to tune the interrupts, cache management and memory handling to improve the real-time performance of its Hyperkernel real-time subsystem for NT, first on Intel and then on DEC Alphas. Normally a company such as Nematron would rely on the standard HAL provided for the MPU it's using, but creating a specialized HAL is well within the NT rule book since it won't detract from standard NT applications running on a system using the custom HAL. No doubt mindful that NT's begun exploding in the real-time and embedded control market, Redmond has given Nematron access to the standard NT HAL source code, a packet of development code including sample source code and a HAL library to craft its HAL from. for more information, nematron.com MSFT certainly has bigger fish to fry, but it's interesting to note that they do this type of licensing.
