SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Sept. 17, 1996 - As part of its tools strategy, Chorus Systems, a leader in embedded operating system technology, today announced a joint marketing and support agreement with Green Hills Software. This agreement will provide Chorus customers a broad range of development tools including Green Hills industry leading C and C++ optimizing compilers, tool chains, utility programs and the MULTI® Development Environment. This provides a complete development environment that includes a comprehensive integrated tools solution second to none.

Green Hills has agreed to adapt its industry leading MULTI Development environment to Chorus' advanced OS technology. This means that customers will be able to use Green Hills tools to develop and debug complex multi-threaded applications supported by Chorus from the application code level down to the kernel execution level. This technology will be available across a wide variety of platforms including Sun and Solaris hosts with the SunSparc native Chorus ClassiX simulator, in addition to targeting the 680x0, Motorola PowerPC, Motorola Coldfire, MIPS, and Intel 80x86 microprocessor families.

"The availability of the Green Hills optimizing compiler technology coupled with the MULTI Development Environment is another critical step in providing the best integrated development environment to Chorus customers," said Fred Rehhausser, Chorus Systems vice president marketing. "This level of integration is absolutely critical in today's telecommunications, process control, and other embedded systems markets."

"The addition of Chorus/OS to the family of real time operating systems that Green Hills supports provides an extension of the MULTI Development Environment that meets the demands of our most exacting customers," said David Chandler, vice president of sales of Green Hills Software. "This consolidates our position as the leading tools vendor with application critical customers."

CHORUS/OS

Chorus/OS is a highly configurable, richly featured real-time operating system. Users can easily tailor Chorus/OS at a very fine grain level of real-time operating system services to meet specific hardware and application requirements. The "ComponentizedTM OS" architecture is industry unique and allows Chorus/OS to coherently scale from very small 10K instances to highly distributed, multiple-personality platforms including support for POSIX, third party RTOSes, and/or legacy OSes. Chorus/OS relaceable object-based components are selected as needed to customize the real-time core executive. Hot application restart, fair-share scheduling, and other high availability enablers provide the necessary capability for mission critical embedded systems.
