Reuters Selects Java Real-Time System for Market Facing Services
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.
