LONDON — The Open Group is working with a consortium of European real-time technology developers, industrial manufacturers and research organizations to develop a new framework for Java-based real-time applications on modern parallel processor systems.
Supported by the European Commission, the Java Environment for Parallel Real-time Development (JEOPARD) project is investing over €3.3 million (about $ 4.9 million) an advanced framework for real-time Java running on multicore and parallel systems.
This platform-independent framework will maintain the robust reliability essential for safety and mission critical applications, while using the additional processing power available from the latest parallel platforms.
Led by The Open Group (Reading, England), the JEOPARD consortium includes four universities and research institutes: University of York (England), Vienna University of Technology (Austria), FZI (Research Center for Information Technologies at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany) and the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (Romania); three industrial manufacturers: EADS NV (Schiphol-Rijk, Netherlands), RadioLabs (Rome, Italy) and SkySoft (Lisbon, Portugal); and two embedded systems technology suppliers: Aicas (Karlsruhe, Germany) and Sysgo (Klein-Winternheim, Germany).
The strategic objective of the JEOPARD project is to provide the tools for platform-independent development of predictable systems that make use of symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) multicore platforms. These tools will enhance software productivity and reusability by extending processor technology already established on desktop systems for the specific needs of multicore embedded systems. The project will actively contribute to standards required for the development of portable software in this domain, such as the Real-time Specification for Java (RTSJ).
