| Can Windows NT 4.0 be used as a RTOS? | |
| When Windows NT was originally designed it was not foreseen to be
a real-time operating system. Yet many people are keen to use it as such
and some already do so. Why would they want to do this and what are the
advantages of Windows NT? This paper looks into those questions and explains
the general architecture of the operating system. It also gives some results
of performance tests that are useful for anyone who's interested in using
Windows NT in real-time systems. The paper also gives some insights in the
final RTOS evaluation report to be released on Nov. 26.

| What makes a good RTOS? | |
| What is a real-time operating system (RTOS)? There are a lot of
misconceptions on the topic of real-time. Following reflects the opinion
of Real-time Consult on what makes a good RTOS. We will examine techniques
that can be found in general purpose operating systems (GPOS) and explain
why they can or cannot be used in real-time operating systems (RTOS).
