VxMP(TM)

VxMP(TM) adds tightly-coupled multiprocessing capability to the popular VxWorks(TM) real-time operating system. It enables a developer to scale a VxWorks(TM) application easily from a single-CPU workstation to a production platform running as many as 20 CPUs. VxMP transparently extends VxWorks' existing semaphore, message queue and memory allocation primitives across the system, making them global "shared memory" objects. Memory blocks and partitions can be allocated from the shared memory pool, and a name database is provided to "find" the global items. VxMP offers much better performance than socket-based approaches or loosely-coupled multiprocessing strategies based on the backplane network.
