Sun Microsystems announced that a division of Reuters has selected the Sun Java Real-Time System to develop and deploy market-facing services.The Sun Java Real-Time System (Java RTS) is a software product that provides a development platform for creating applications, which require execution predictability. Compliant with the Real-Time specification for Java, it uses the power and scalability of the Solaris10 Operating System (OS) and the flexibility of the Java platform to provide the environment necessary for predictable computing applications in industries such as financial services, aerospace, industrial automation and scientific research.揥e wanted a Java technology-based solution that could address our demanding, and growing, requirements for predictability and low-latency, as well as enable us to leverage our existing code base and Java technology expertise, said Andrew Cunningham, Global Head of Transactions Platform Group, Sales and Trading Division at Reuters.Sun Java Real-Time System enables hard, soft, and non-real-time functions to be combined in one system while keeping critical latencies as low as 20 microseconds. Developers can differentiate processes based on their importance and can take advantage of new memory models. They can continue to take advantage of familiar development tools, such as the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment or Solaris Dynamic Tracing (DTrace).When executing on the Solaris 10 operating system, Sun Java RTS runs on over 900 standard x86 and SPARC technology platforms and can also leverage the real-time capabilities of Solaris 10. Solaris 10 enables Java RTS applications to take full advantage of multi-core and multi-processor environments. The upcoming release of Java RTS will also be available on real-time Linux distributions from Red Hat and Novell.

Graphics card maker, Nvidia has announced it is acquiring gaming physics company Ageia to bring the latter’s PhysX solution to Nvidia’s GeForce graphics hardware cards.Ageia developed PhysX, a hardware and software engine that adds physical reality to existing games, like smoke billowing from an object after an explosion, or the behavior of a rock after it hits a target. Developers can also use the PhysX software development kit to create interactive middleware for games. Ageia recently provided a kit to developers to create physical experiences in Epic Games’ Unreal Tournament 3.Ageia will add features to Nvidia’s graphics products that will boost the physical reality users experience while playing a game, said Derek Perez, an Nvidia spokesman.According to AGEIA, there are 140 PhysX-based games shipping or in development on Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft XBOX 360, Nintendo Wii and Gaming PCs. In August 2007, AGEIA announced first PhysX Mobile processor, the AGEIA PhysX 100M, for high performance gaming notebook PCs. AGEIA PhysX Mobile Technology features low power and thermal design with power dissipation of nearly 10W under gameplay conditions. Company president and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said of the deal, “The Ageia team is world class, and is passionate about the same thing we are梒reating the most amazing and captivating game experiences. By combining the teams that created the world’s most pervasive GPU and physics engine brands, we can now bring GeForce-accelerated PhysX to hundreds of millions of gamers around the world.”Dell XPS 1730, launched in September 2007, is one of the first laptops to integrate Ageia PhysX 100M processor. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed, however Nvidia said more details about the acquisition will be provided during the company’s quarterly conference call, to be held in mid February.
