TenAsys Embedded Virtualization Software Supports New Intel® Core™ Embedded Processors

TenAsys Corporation (www.tenasys.com), a leading provider of real-time OS and virtualization software, announces that all of its embedded virtualization software products, including the INtime® real-time OS for Windows®, provide full support for new 2010 Intel® Core™ processors and companion chipsets for the embedded market.

The TenAsys INtime RTOS works alongside Windows to provide fully-deterministic processing of real-time tasks, completely independent of Windows task scheduling. On multi-core processors such as the new dual-core Intel Core processors, INtime can run on its own core(s) to maximize performance in running real-time tasks.

“TenAsys’ real-time operating system and embedded virtualization technologies are aligned with Intel’s new long-life system components,” said Kim Hartman, TenAsys Vice President of Marketing and Sales. “The enhanced performance and determinism capabilities of the multi-core architecture, the new highly-integrated chipset functionality, and built-in Intel® Virtualization Technology (including both processor-based and chipset-based hardware virtualization support) make the new components exceptional candidates for real-time and embedded virtualization platforms.”

Intel’s newest multi-core embedded processors include the Intel® Core™ i7 and Intel® Core™ i5 processors, which feature intelligent performance, power efficiency, integrated graphics, and error correcting code (ECC) memory, while maintaining software compatibility with previous x86 architecture processors.

“Our new Core™ family components provide many features for increasing performance and decreasing power consumption and board real estate requirements,” said Ryan Parker, director of marketing for the Intel Embedded and Communications Group. “With performance-boosting technologies, hardware-based virtualization support, and an efficient and powerful multi-core architecture, the new Intel Core processors are ideal to pair with TenAsys INtime real-time operating system software.”

When paired with the Mobile Intel® QM57 Express chipset, the new integrated two-chip platforms provide excellent graphics, memory and I/O bandwidth, as well as remote management capabilities and reliability to meet the requirements of a broad range of embedded applications - including retail and transaction solutions, gaming platforms and industrial automation equipment.
