Welcome to the home page of the RTSIM
project. RTSIM stands for (Real-Time system SIMulator). It is
a collection of programming libraries written in C++ for
simulating real-time control systems.
RTSim has been developed at Retis Lab of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna as
an internal project. It has been used primarily for
experimenting with new scheduling algorithms and
solutions. For this reasons, it contains, already implemented,
most of the scheduling algorithms developed at Retis Lab.
We now decided to release this software as open source, to let
other researcher in the world to play with the simulator. The
dream is to have a common simulation platform for comparing
the performance of new scheduling algorithms.
RTSim is currently compatible with many systems, including
several distros of Linux, recent FreeBSD, Mac OS X and
Cygwin. In addition, the software has been tested with all
major releases of GCC, from 2.96 to 4.0.1. Under Windows, the
software can also be built using MinGW32.
Current version is 0.5, you can dowload from SourceForge at the
link below:
Get RTSim
Instructions for compiling and installing the software are in
the README file included in the distribution.
If you want to use the ctrlib features, you must also download
and install octave. We tried out this version of octave:
octave-2.0.16
However, many recent versions of octave have been successfully
tested with RTSim. Please read the README file for specific
per-version instructions, and possibly to set up for octave
usage (you may need to correct some errors in the octave headers
depending on which version of octave and GCC you have).
In this second screenshot, you can see three tasks scheduled on one processor with fixed priority plus the priority inheritance protocol. Each red flag represents a wait operation on a semaphore, and each green flag represents a signal operation. In the figure, task A is the highest priority task, task B is the medium priority, and task C has the lowest priority.
