RT<br />

RT client<br />

RT kernel<br />

RT subsystem<br />

server<br />

Windows host<br />

Windows node<br />

Windows<br />

subsystem<br />

A scheduling method where equal priority threads take turns running. Each thread<br />

gets a time slice, an equal portion of the processor’s time.<br />

Real-time.<br />

An RT subsystem designated to consume INtime services (booting, configuration, file<br />

system proxy, etc.) provided by a Windows host.<br />

(Real-time kernel) An operating system that provides full RT functionality.<br />

A self-contained collection of software containing an RT kernel, a number of RT<br />

support processes, and the RT portion of zero or more INtime applications.<br />

An RT kernel object type managed by the kernel. Semaphores are used for interthread<br />

synchronization. A counter that takes positive integer values. Threads use<br />

semaphores for synchronization by sending units to and receiving units from the<br />

semaphores.<br />

On a network, a server is any computer which responds to requests from remote<br />

systems. For example, file or print servers allow remote systems to access local disks<br />

or printers.<br />

A subroutine supplied by INtime software to provide a service, such as I/O processing<br />

or memory allocation. A programmatic interface you use to manipulate objects or<br />

control the computer’s actions.<br />

An RT kernel object type managed by the RT kernel. Threads, or threads of execution,<br />

are the active, code-executing objects in a system.<br />

The time required to save the context (data registers, stack and execution pointers) of<br />

one thread, and to start another thread by moving its context into the processor<br />

registers.<br />

An equal portion of the processor’s time.<br />

A Windows subsystem designated to provide INtime services (booting, configuration,<br />

file system proxy, etc.) to one or more RT clients. Not all Windows subsystems are<br />

Windows hosts.<br />

A computer executing a Windows subsystem.<br />

A self-contained collection of software containing Windows, a number of Windows<br />

support processes, and the Windows portion of zero or more INtime applications.<br />
