NEWS - The company Zilog introduced 28 January nucleus of the new operating real-time systems RZK.

                         This is interesting!


  The company Zilog introduced 28 January nucleus of the new 
operating real-time systems RZK. It is intended to

eight-processors and microcontrollers eZ80
Acclaim. These chips are modifications of the processor Z80,
continuously produced by Zilog in 1976. These processors
extensively used in various fields from - home
PC-1980's and pocket gaming console Nintendo
GameBoy to various embedded systems. It was in the last
of these processors are used extensively today.

  RZK is a core operating system real-
time, which can control the processor, including
and execute critical tasks. Kernel supports
multi-tasking, and planning processes can
carried out both in the cooperative mode, and in the mode
time-sharing. The operating system consists of separate
object modules. The modular system allows you to avoid
redevelopment of frequently used functions and reduces
time to market for end products.

  The new operating system can be flexibly configured by
solution of various problems. To accommodate enough 18 KB of 
ROM. As for processors and controllers eZ80, they can

address up to 16 MB of RAM and have double
processor registers for fast context
switch (this RZK requires 12 microseconds) and
processing events in real time.

  These are the cakes, ladies and gentlemen, 18 kilobytes, and 
they almost finished multitasking operating system! Borg durit 
whole world but he was still smiling and happy. It's just a 
conspiracy. Long live Spectrum spektrumisty - partisans in the 
hegemony of Microsoft!
