<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Philippe </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Based on RTSJ (<A
href="http://www.rtj.org">www.rtj.org</A>) proposal, I have recently modified
Kaffe for real-time applications. The previous implementation has created a
javax.realtime package and modified the Kaffe VM for real-time purpose
(jthread) under Linux. The modification of Kaffe VM includes the
priority inheritance protocol, management of RealtimeThread and
PeriodicThread, and other modifications. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In fact, the previous version was missing the
memory modifications and some other classes of the RTSJ specification. I also
simplified the creation of javax.realtime package into Klasses.jar
(Klasses.jar = java.lang.* + javax.realtime.*). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now, Cris is going to complete some lacking parts of my previous
implementation and separate the javax.realtime package from Klasses.jar. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Could you please tell us your current achievement of pthreads porting
for Real-time applications ? When will the ptherad
real-time of Kaffe be merged into traditional Open Kaffe VM ? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
<DIV>Erik</DIV></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi, <BR> I am very interested in this
project. Can you share what modifications you made, and what are your goals?
<P>I have recently done the pthreads soft real-time port of Kaffe under linux.
