The Real-Time Programming course for the Power Series™, Silicon Graphics® Onyx®, Challenge®, and the SGI® Origin® family servers teaches programmers the techniques required to write programs that use the real-time capabilities of SGI® multiprocessor workstations. Students also learn how to optimize and tune their programs and systems to increase performance.

Topics Covered

• Architecture overview
• IRIX® real-time simulations
• Using memory-mapped drivers
• Real-time interfaces in C and Fortran
• Basic interprocess communications
• Program performance analysis
• System performance tuning
• REACT/pro™ frame rate scheduler

Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:

• Create programs for a guaranteed response time
• Tune programs and systems for real-time operation

This course is intended for programmers who are familiar with real-time applications, including visual simulation, flight simulation, process control, or high-speed data acquisition and analysis but cannot write or tune applications using SGI® REACT™ software.

Prerequisites

Students should have C or Fortran programming experience.

Class Hours

Class starts at 9:00 AM. The course dates and times will be included in the confirmation notice you receive from SGI after you register.
