Overview
What is Expedited Real-Time Threads?
This technology has been graduated.
Expedited Real-Time Threads has been replaced by Expedited Real-Time Task Graphs here on alphaWorks. This new, expanded version adds many more features.About the technology author(s)
Daniel Spoonhower, a Ph.D. candidate at Carnegie Mellon University, did the initial research and prototyping of Expedited Real-Time Threads while an intern at IBM. His research interests include the design and implementation of programming languages, and he has worked on real-time garbage collection as well as on formal semantics for reasoning about the performance of real-time programs.
Joshua Auerbach, Ph.D., is the primary author and active maintainer of the current Expedited Real Time Threads code. In 23 years at IBM, Dr. Auerbach has contributed to many products, including IBM WebSphere Real Time and IBM WebSphere Messaging. His research contributions have been in communications, distributed systems, and programming languages.
David F. Bacon, Ph.D., is a research staff member at IBM's T. J. Watson Research Center. There he leads the Metronome project, which produced the first hard, real-time, garbage-collected system. His algorithms are included in most compilers and run-time systems for modern object-oriented languages. His recent work focuses on high-level, real-time programming; embedded systems; data visualization; and programming language design. Dr. Bacon holds six patents, is a member of ACM and IEEE, and is on the governing boards of ACM SIGPLAN and SIGBED.
David Grove, Ph.D., is a research staff member in the Dynamic Optimization Group at IBM's T. J. Watson Research Center. Dr. Grove was a key member of IBM's Jalapeño project; he holds two patents; and he is co-author of over 30 refereed journal and conference publications.
Perry Cheng, Ph.D., is a research staff member in the Dynamic Optimization Group at IBM's T. J. Watson Research Center. Dr. Cheng was a key member of IBM's Jalapeño project, and he has served on the progam committees of POPL, LCTES, ISMM, PASTE, SPACE, and JTRES.
