Realtime OS Jaluna

Posted by michael on from the all-together-now dept.

rkgmd writes "Jaluna-1, a software component suite based on the respected chorus realtime os is now available in opensource (MPL-derived license) form. Jaluna, the company behind this, is a spin-off from sun to promote and develop chorus, and consists of many developers from the original chorus team before it was acquired by Sun. Chorus developed one of the earliest successful microkernel-based rtos's (could even run parallel, distributed unix in realtime on inkos transputers in 1992). Lots of good research papers here, and a link to the original newsgroup announcement."

    The "real world" is all about politics.

    I have had some below average teachers as well. However, simply quiting school because you don't agree with something is a pathetic excuse. What happens when your boss who wants you to develop some piece of software has a different understanding of how it should be implemented than you? You quit?

    College also shows you can complete something, in spite of the fact it may be irrelevant to what you need to do a particular job. For example, Non-Western Civ (History) classes I took in college don't help me at all in performing statistical analysis of data for custom built reports. However, it did give me some interesting insights in to the Mongolian Empire and the rise of Communisim in China and the history between Japan and China. There are great lessons to be learned from history, and a well-rounded education can give you that.

    Maybe you should have chose a better school? I know MIT students don't seem to complain about their professors being stupid.
