GNAT Pro for RTX enhances Windows apps

AdaCore has announced the availability of GNAT Pro for RTX, an Ada Integrated Development Environment (IDE), enabling programmers to create real-time Ada applications on Microsoft Windows platforms.

This IDE supports two different modes such as a Windows executable with memory protection, and a real-time subsystem that executes in kernel mode with hard, real-time behavior. Its enhanced control and scalability helps simplify the critical applications being developed like industrial automation, aerospace and military systems.

RTX software from Ardence, a Citrix Company, enables Windows systems to deliver hard, real-time performance. As a true extension, it does not interfere with or modify the Windows infrastructure. Developers can create user interfaces and applications that take advantage of all the functionality offered by Windows. A component that requires real-time control can first be developed and debugged as a Windows application and then recompiled as a real-time subsystem with no changes in the code.
