Real Time: Understanding the Trade-offs Between Determinism and Throughput
TS-5609

Real-time responsiveness for Java technology-based applications has gained the attention of many developers on the Java platform. However, understanding the real-time characteristics of various Java technology-based offerings can be a challenge for developers. This session discusses the relevant metrics associated with measuring real-time characteristics; the differences between soft, hard, and non-real-time systems; and comparisons of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE platform) and Sun Java Real-Time System offerings for this space. It presents benchmark results to highlight the differences in real-time performance of these various offerings and configurations. The session ends with a discussion of the future directions for Java Real-Time System performance. The presentation is delivered by members of the Java Real-Time System engineering and performance analysis teams from Sun.
