Novell has announced an upgrade to the SUSE Linux system in a version adapted for real-time systems – SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time (SLERT). To accelerate the development of this product, Novell has entered into partnerships with renowned specialized companies Concurrent and Voltaire.
– SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time enables performance maximization focused on tasks that must be completed within a specific timeframe, for example in the case of financial applications – assesses Ken Barnes, Vice President of Operations and Planning at Wombat Financial Software. – Novell’s plans related to this technology demonstrate that the company intends to continue delivering valuable innovations for the capital market.
The SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time system, built on the SUSE Linux Enterprise platform, includes kernel enhancements, packages, tools, and utilities that ensure robustness, performance, low latency, and deterministic operation. It is currently the only open-source real-time operating system on the market offered by a Linux solutions distributor for business. Thanks to real-time technology, customers can allocate a portion of network bandwidth and the performance of processors and other hardware components to handle high-priority and mission-critical workloads. The handling of such workloads will not be interrupted by system calls caused by lower-priority workloads or system tasks.
In July 2007, Novell will release a service update for the SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time system, which will include improvements from the recently released Service Pack 1 for SUSE Linux Enterprise, including new storage and processor support features. The update will also include support for the latest open-source InfiniBand stack — Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) 1.2 (which is becoming the industry standard for connecting servers and storage).
In the next generation of the SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time system currently under development, the creators are focusing on significantly reducing latency and improving performance. This applies not only to applications with a relatively small number of threads that can be prioritized and protected, but also to multi-threaded applications requiring low latency, such as real-time Java messaging.
