Enea Linux with LWRT: Real "Real-time" Linux for Next Generation Networking and Communications Systems

Overview:
Enea Linux v2.0 is a hardened, commercial grade Linux based on specially selected Yocto ProjectTM packages for communication and networking needs customized for each customer. Many complex networking and communications applications place high demands on latency and determinism that Linux even with its real-time extensions cannot meet. Enea Linux with LWRT, Light-Weight RunTime environment, is the solution that secures the required real-time performance and behavior for such applications.

Who Should Attend:

• Managers working in the telecom or networking space who are interested in a commercially supported Linux distribution customized for a) the telecom/networking market, b) their specific Linux package requirements, and c) their specific hardware platform
• Engineers and Managers working in the telecom or networking space who have Linux based applications that require more stringent real-time performance and behavior that their current Linux solution does not seem able to meet.

What you will learn:

• How to get a customized Linux distribution and support plan based on your specific software and hardware requirements
• How the Enea Light-weight RunTime (LWRT) environment model works and what real-time performance advantages and robust features it provides
• LWRT performance metrics versus PTHREADS and Linux PREEMPT_RT real-time extensions
