Ravenscar profile and occam on the transputer



All

 

The Ravenscar profile is for safety critical systems written in Ada. It basically takes the rendezvous away. This opens for schedulability analysis. [1]

 

I have wondered about this in [2] (the “Computer scientist” quoted is close to the Ravenscar profile..)

 

Finally I now have had a mail with Roger Shepherd how the transputer tackled this, whether there also would be any reason to make an “occam Ravenscar” profile. From what he answered I think the answer is no. [3]

 

Any comments welcomed. Please state if your comment here might by name be quoted in the blog note. If I don’t see this specifically I will not do any copy paste. (But I will not guarantee that I might not mail you and ask in case I think you may have forgotten…)

 

For any one of you who are extremely knowledgable about the XMOS processors and XC I would be delighted to see this viewed also from that perspective..
