PERC Ultra 5.1 Becoming Customer-Demand Product with VxWorks

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(EMWNews)–Aonix®, the provider of the PERC product line

for embedded and real-time Java developers, announces the release of

PERC Ultra 5.1 cross development and target support on Wind River’s

VxWorks 6.6 real-time operating system and Wind River Workbench

development suite. With more than 1 million field systems in markets

such as aerospace, defense, telecommunications, industrial control and

robotics, PERC Ultra well suits the broad real-time market leadership of

VxWorks. These joint solutions will enable developers to take advantage

of Java language capabilities while ensuring that critical deterministic

behavior requirements can still be met.

Boasting the largest number of deployments for any commercial real-time

virtual machine, PERC Ultra has proven itself as an embedded virtual

machine that is scalable, manageable, reliable and secure. In addition

to separating it from its competitors, these characteristics make it

ideal for VxWorks developers who primarily focus on the safety- and

mission-critical space. This version of PERC Ultra allows the PERC

Virtual Machine to run as a real-time process, protecting Java

applications from being corrupted by any errant C applications running

on the same system. PERC Ultra also takes advantage of Wind River

Advanced Networking Technologies, new with this port to VxWorks 6.6.

Notably, PERC Ultra’s port to VxWorks

complements an earlier port of Aonix’s PERC

Pico, a low-level, resource-constrained virtual machine for deeply

embedded hard real-time applications and components. For the first time,

Wind River developers can design the same Java language advantages of

portability, scalability and modularity into applications from top to

bottom, thereby streamlining application development, debugging and

ongoing program maintenance.

“Most of our customers develop complex

mission- and safety-critical systems,” noted

Rob Hoffman, vice president and general manager for Aerospace and

Defense at Wind River. “Prior to Aonix’s

PERC family, Java technologies were unable to address these needs

effectively or efficiently. Our customers are looking forward to

extending their Java applications through to the device-driver level to

maximize efficiency and to gain the additional portability such an

extension ensures.”

“PERC Ultra and VxWorks have together

provided world-class tools and execution environments for a number of

years,” noted Gary Cato, Aonix director of

marketing. “Wind River’s

customers have stringent applications requirements. We are proud of the

fact that our combined solutions have met their criteria.”

About the PERC Family

PERC Ultra is a virtual machine and toolset expressly created for

demanding embedded and real-time systems requiring J2SE™

support. PERC Ultra delivers the ease and efficiency of Java™

Standard Edition support without sacrificing integrity, performance, or

real-time behavior. The currently available version, PERC Ultra 5.1

offers Ahead-of-Time (AOT) and Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation, remote

debug support, deterministic garbage collection, standard graphics and

extended commercial RTOS support.

PERC Pico, the first development environment geared toward the creation

of resource constrained and deeply embedded hard real-time applications

and components, is based on the emerging Java Specification Request

(JSR-302) for development of hard real-time safety-critical code. PERC

Pico allows Java developers to write low-level Java code such as device

drivers and interrupt handlers, telecommunications control plane, and

signal processing for multimedia. It offers a memory footprint measured

in hundreds of kilobytes in comparison to the tens of megabytes required

for other Java solutions as well as boasting performance, latency, and

determinism comparable to C.

Shipping and Availability

PERC Ultra 5.1 targeting Power Architectures on Wind River VxWorks 6.6

is immediately available. PERC development tools are available at no

charge in combination with a maintenance contract. Target execution and

deployment license pricing starts at $25K based on projected volume.

PERC Ultra is also available with special bundling discounts when

licensed together with PERC Pico.
