An Implementation and Application of the Real-Time Producer-Consumer Paradigm
TR90-038
Dan Poirier, Kevin Jeffay
We have created an efficient prototype implementation 
of the Real Time Producer/Consumer Paradigm, allowing 
us to build multiprograms within a Unix* process.  We 
present a brief introduction to the RTP/C paradigm and 
the design of a kernel that supports a concurrent 
programming system based on the RTP/C paradigm.  We 
then discuss the results of adapting an interactive 
graphics program to use the RTP/C programming 
model.**
