Product Description
Product Description
The Definitive Guide to Java RTS for Developers and Architects
- For Java developers and architects moving to real-time, and real-time developers moving to Java
- Walks through start-to-finish case study applications, identifying their constraints and discussing the APIs and design patterns used to address them
- Written by the former leader of the real-time Java standards process and one of Wall Street’s top real-time developers
Sun Microsystems’ Java Real-Time System (Java RTS) is proving itself in numerous, wide-ranging environments, including finance, control systems, manufacturing, and defense. Java RTS and the RTSJ standard (JSR-001) eliminate the need for complicated, specialized, real-time languages and operating environments, saving money by leveraging Java’s exceptional productivity and familiarity.
In Real-Time Java™ Programming, two of Sun’s top real-time programming experts present the deep knowledge and realistic code examples that developers need to succeed with Java RTS and its APIs. As they do so, the authors also illuminate the foundations of real-time programming in any RTSJ-compatible environment.
Key topics include
- Real-time principles and concepts, and the unique requirements of real-time application design and development
- How Java has been adapted to real-time environments
- A complete chapter on garbage collection concepts and Java SE collectors
- Using the Java RTS APIs to solve actual real-time system problems as efficiently as possible
- Utilizing today’s leading Java RTS development and debugging tools
- Understanding real-time garbage collection, threads, scheduling, and dispatching
- Programming new RTSJ memory models
- Dealing with asynchronous event handling and asynchronous transfer of control

Format:Paperback
This book really is a must-have for experienced Java developers who want to dig into the real-time programming in Java. It provides a solid background of the main concerns affecting non real-time environments and how these can be addressed by using RTSJ complaint JVMs and the real-time systems in general. Being a long term Investment Bank employee, I found it really interesting the examples proposed across the book. In fact, they are mostly based on finance related use cases (Chapter 11), like Order Routing Management and Equity Derivatives Systems having to deal with real-time Market Data feeds. Maybe, the only downside or, let's say missing, is that when it comes to Chapter 12, it "only" focuses on the tracing tools available in Solaris 10 (DTrace) used by the Sun Thread Scheduling Visualizer (TSV) tool, not mentioning other platforms (Linux based) on which the real-time JVM can run (see the IBM Websphere Real Time JVM), which is understandable given that the book has been written under the Oracle-Sun Microsystems umbrella.

a earnest book about a serious subject
20 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback
Original review by Gianfranco Tognana, JUG Lugano www.juglugano.ch
This book starts very intriguing: An elavator is a real time system. A web server is not.
Real Time in not 'run as fast as you can' like the Gingerbread says. It is all about reliable timing.
This book explain in thorough (very thorough) detail what's wrong with standard java and what happens when RTSJ comes to the rescue.
You will learn how the garbage collector, a bad guy of standard java, is tamed, the JIT compiler, another nasty mug, is rendered harmless and how you can instruct threads to perform exactly what you want and not let them dawdle.
You will find:
long deep theoretical explanations of how the garbage collertors are (or could be) implemented and
long deep theoretical and practical explanations of how you can avoid the JIT compiler and
long deep theoretical and practical explanations of how you can avoid the dynamic classloading and
long deep explanations of how to set up a real time environment: the JVM itself need a real time operating system (windows is obviously excluded)
Until you will see what means to write a program with RTSJ: in same ways is like coming back to C and sit right on the memory...
The examples in the book quite gently introduce you to the core concepts and the final application wraps up all the tecniques useful in RTSJ described in the book.
It's an interesting book if you want to learn the internals of java or if you need to evaluate real time java for your next project.
