SGI Joins the Open Group's Real-Time and Embedded Systems Forum as Industry Leader in Real-Time Solutions Story Filed: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 9:01 AM EST MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb 7, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- SGI (NYSE: SGI) and The Open Group, a vendor- and technology-neutral consortium dedicated to enterprise integration, today announced that SGI has joined The Open Group's Real-Time and Embedded Systems Forum. Through the power of its membership, The Open Group's Real-Time and Embedded Systems Forum is accelerating the growth of the marketplace for standardized real-time and embedded systems by coordinating among suppliers, practitioners and existing industry-standard groups and developing and delivering test and certification programs. Members of the forum include industry-leading companies and several government agencies such as the Defense Information Systems Agency and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. "We are very pleased to welcome SGI into The Open Group's Real-Time and Embedded Systems Forum," said Allen Brown, president and CEO of The Open Group. "As an industry leader in real-time solutions, SGI's participation and drive add great value to The Open Group and to our Real-Time and Embedded Systems Forum." From powerful, scalable multiprocessor systems with built-in support for real-time applications to software development tools designed for the specialized needs of real-time developers, SGI offers the industry's best real-time solutions. SGI(TM) systems with NUMA architecture deliver predictable real-time performance in a standard IRIX(R) operating environment, the most mature and robust UNIX(R) operating system in the industry. IRIX is characterized by a rich set of scalability, big data management and real-time 3D visualization enhancements. "Joining The Open Group's Real-Time and Embedded Systems Forum reinforces SGI's track record of real-time support for our IRIX operating system," said Gabriel Broner, vice president, Engineering Strategic Software Organization, SGI. "We look forward to working with the forum and sharing our expertise in the areas of deterministic compute and I/O capability for the most demanding real-time applications." Broner will deliver a keynote address on real-time software development at the Real-Time and Embedded Systems Forum Conference, Feb. 6-8 in San Jose, Calif. Dan Stuart, a systems engineer for SGI Federal, will discuss and demonstrate real-time application development and verification on the IRIX operating system. Included in every version of IRIX is REACT(TM) software, a unique capability among UNIX operating systems that enables users to configure any multiprocessor system for guaranteed real-time operation. REACT, which fully conforms with POSIX 1003.1b and 1003.1c, includes user-level interrupts and frame rate scheduler capabilities not found in many other UNIX operating systems.
