Concurrent has announced a new version of its RedHawk Linux real-time operating system, RedHawk version 5.2. The upgraded RedHawk Linux provides features such as the Precision Time Protocol standard and improved application performance on Non-Uniform Memory Architecture (NUMA) platforms.
Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is an IEEE time-transfer standard that provides for very precise synchronization of multiple systems on a network. Using Concurrent's clock, RedHawk Linux PTP support can provide accuracy in the tens of microseconds without the need for costly special networking hardware. Applications that require such precision include engine test, simulation and control systems prevalent within the aerospace, defense, automotive, industrial control and telecommunications industries.
Concurrent's RedHawk Linux is deployed in thousands of installations worldwide supporting a range of time-critical applications where low-latency and highly deterministic response is required. RedHawk supports applications such as weapons systems, engine test stands, flight simulators, vehicle simulators, flight crew trainers, image generators, MRI medical systems, process control and video-on-demand systems. RedHawk Linux is relied upon in major military defense programs worldwide including the U.S. Navy Aegis Open Architecture (AOA) CR2 program.
