In order to simplify the use of CPU counter values it is beneficial to have monotonic increasing values within the range of the CPU counter ticks data type, e.g. 32-bit unsigned integer. This eases the use of CPU counter timestamps in external tools which do not know the details of the CPU counter hardware. The CPU counter is the fastest way to get a time on an RTEMS system. Such a CPU counter may be also used as the timecounter. Use it on SPARC for this purpose to simplify the clock drivers. Update #3456.
Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessing Systems (RTEMS)
-------------------------------------------------------
RTEMS, Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems, is a real-time executive
(kernel) which provides a high performance environment for embedded
applications with the following features:
- standards based user interfaces
- multitasking capabilities
- homogeneous and heterogeneous multiprocessor systems
- event-driven, priority-based, preemptive scheduling
- optional rate monotonic scheduling
- intertask communication and synchronization
- priority inheritance
- responsive interrupt management
- dynamic memory allocation
- high level of user configurability
- open source with a friendly user license
