Occupying less than 8 kbytes of memory (in a minimal configuration), OSEck delivers fully-preemptive, event-driven real-time response with a context switching speed of 150 nsec and a worst-case interrupt latency of 300 nsec (assuming 850-MHz clock frequency).
Full interrupt support is provided, and zero interrupt latency time is a key benefit.
FSMLabs' patented hard real-time technology provides spectacular real-time performance on a wide range of processors: 2 microsecond worst-case interrupt latency on an AMD Opteron running both RTLinux and MS Windows XP (under VMWare), and 20 microsecond latency on an ARM9 running a full GSM/GPRS/EDGE stack.
