WIND--RTI's ScopeTools Will Support Wind River's New VxWorks AE/Tornado 3
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Real-Time Innovations, Inc. (RTI) announced it will provide the popular ScopeTools(TM) product suite to embedded software developers using Wind River Systems', Inc. (Nasdaq: WIND - news) new Tornado® Tools 3 embedded development environment for the VxWorks AE real-time operating system(RTOS). The ScopeTools are visualization tools for data monitoring, execution tracing, performance tuning, and memory analysis.
``Developing reliable and secure software solutions has become increasingly important in the Internet age,'' said Dave Sheaffer, director of product marketing for Wind River's Platforms business unit. ``We are excited to further extend our long-time Windlink partnership with RTI. By combining Wind River's new VxWorks AE RTOS with RTI's quality debug and analysis tools, including the scope tools, we can deliver innovative solutions that help developers get to market faster.''
VxWorks AE is the newest operating system offering from Wind River, designed to meet customers' needs for reliability, availability, serviceability and security (RASS). These are important attributes for the real-time operating system that will power the next generation of smart devices. The RTI ScopeTools add the debug and analysis tools needed to ensure the applications developed for these devices run correctly and efficiently.
``A crucial part of a high-availability platform like /VxWorks AE/Tornado 3 is useful debug and analysis tools,'' states Stan Schneider, president and CEO of RTI. ``We've been working with the VxWorks AE RTOS throughout its development. Based on our experience, we think the ScopeTools analysis suite and the RASS capabilities of VxWorks AE make a powerful combination for developers of the new generation of smart devices.''
About ScopeTools
ScopeTools(TM) is a suite of four tools that give you the visibility you need to understand your real-time system and make it work. Each tool offers simple, one-touch operation without code instrumentation or recompilation, and each is built for minimal intrusion and impact on system performance.
StethoScope®, the real-time data monitor, lets you watch any variable in your system while it runs. One of the original WindPower(TM) tools, it is now the most popular third-party tool for Tornado.
TraceScope(TM), the execution-flow tracing tool, eliminates the chore of instrumenting code with printf() statements to understand dynamic program operation. It instantly shows which routines in a program were called, when they were called, and what arguments were passed.
ProfileScope(TM), the dynamic CPU execution profiler, measures code performance function by function. It provides the information programmers need to write fast, efficient code.
MemScope(TM), the instant memory analyzer, shows you which functions are allocating and, perhaps, leaking memory. It ensures faultless long-term operation.
Availability
RTI ScopeTools 3.0 for the Tornado Tools 3 environment for VxWorks AE will be available Q1 of 2001 from Wind River. For more information, contact Wind River at 800-545-WIND or windriver.com or Real-Time Innovations at 408-734-4200 or rti.com .
