WA-SLERT -- SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time
SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time is an industry standard, real-time version of the open source Linux operating system for Intel/AMD-based multiprocessors. Built on the latest SUSE Linux Enterprise platform, it provides the guaranteed performance needed in time-critical and hard real-time environments. SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time is an ideal Linux solution for a broad range of deterministic applications such as financial trading, telecommunications, modeling, simulation, data acquisition, industrial control and medical imaging systems. Properly configured, the operating system guarantees that a user-level application can respond to an external event in less than 30 microseconds.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time achieves its superior real-time performance through key kernel enhancements developed by Concurrent and Novell. The OS includes all the standard features of SUSE Linux including its user-level commands, utilities and system administration. SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time user libraries provide access to its value-add features that are not part of other Linux offerings. The operating system is fully compatible with standard Linux user-level APIs, thus Linux applications written for other Linux distributions will run without modification.
Prerequisites: An Intel or AMD 32-bit or 64-bit system with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1. Support for guaranteed real-time latencies requires the purchase of the WU1320-LDV NightStar tools package.
Note: Provides a one year support subscription. Additional years of support require repurchase of WA-SLERT.
