Reston, VA - Objective Interface, the leader in high-performance, embedded, real-time CORBA, announces the release of ORBexpress™ for Enea OSE Systems' RTOS and Green Hills Software's MULTI® and C++ Optimizing Compilers. This new product provides a powerful development tool for building high-performance, real-time and embedded standards-based middleware solutions and has been specifically optimized to work with OSE and MULTI on the PowerPC architecture.
"Our customers are looking for complete development solutions for building real-time and embedded systems. They are continually striving to move away from the expense of homegrown systems and replace them with COTS software packages from Independent Software Vendors. With the performance and footprint characteristics of ORBexpress, they can now use ORBexpress as the communications infrastructure," said Paul Hickey, VP of Business Development, Objective Interface. "MULTI and OSE together provide a strong development solution for building real-time and embedded systems."
ORBexpress provides developers with a complete, reliable and easy-to-use distributed application infrastructure that supports low-latency, high-throughput performance. Features such as predictable time behavior and custom transports provide developers with a uniquely powerful environment for creating high performance, high-reliability, distributed software components that are lightweight, flexible and fast.
When used with a predictable transport and a real-time operating system like OSE, ORBexpress allows you to create an environment uniquely suited to building fast, standards-based, reliable distributed systems that are predictable from end-to-end. The OSE RTOS supports fault tolerant systems that are designed to allow recovery from hardware and software failures and provides a strong foundation for the development of real-time and embedded applications.
"OSE, ORBexpress and MULTI achieve a natural synergy because they are geared towards increasing application programming simplicity and transparency across large, complex systems," said Kia Holmquist Ahnfelt, vice president of Marketing, Enea OSE Systems. "Our common goal is to enable application developers to create their best applications using all the tools they need, but with as short a learning curve as possible. The addition of ORBexpress to our platform enables both quicker time-to-market and more innovative applications because developers can concentrate on their applications, not the complexity of keeping the system running."
MULTI is a complete integrated development environment for embedded programmers using C, C++ and Ada 95 and includes an advanced debugger, simulator, project builder, performance profiler, run-time error checker and more. MULTI also provides the graphical interface for the embedded programmer to control the scalable elements of the Green Hills optimizing, ANSI-compliant C++ compiler such as C++ constructs, code size and performance. "It is essential that projects building embedded systems use robust compiler and debugging technologies that both help you find errors at compile time, generate fast, small code, and quickly isolate run-time errors. The Green Hills C++ tools do a superb job of fulfilling these critical requirements," said Bill Beckwith, Chief Technology Officer, Objective Interface.
"MULTI and our C++ compilers contain all of the development tools needed to complete a major real-time embedded programming project", said John Carbone, Green Hills VP of Marketing. "Its industrial-strength graphical debugger and optimized ANSI C++ compiler are a natural fit with ORBexpress and OSE."
