Overview
Build powerful real-time Java platform applications.
The authoritative reference to the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ)—by one of its creators
Complete introduction to Java-based RT development—no real-time experience necessary
Covers scheduling, asynchronous transfer control, timers, non-heap memory, garbage collection, performance tradeoffs, program structure, and more
Written for experienced Java platform developers, this practical guide provides a solid grounding in real-time programming. Dibble, a member of the RTSJ expert group, starts with an overview of real-time issues unique to the Java platform. He then explains how to use each major feature of the RTSJ.
From broad real-time principles to detailed programming pitfalls, Real-Time Java Platform Programming covers everything you need to know to build effective RT programs. Key topics include:
Interoperability with non-RT code, tradeoffs in real-time development, and RT issues for the JVMtm software
Garbage collection, non-heap access, physical and "immortal" memory, and constant-time allocation of non-heap memory
Priority scheduling, deadline scheduling, and rate monotonic analysis
Closures, asynchronous transfer of control, asynchronous events, and timers
State-of-the-art information for RT developers:
Threads scheduling
Real-time scheduling
Raw memory access
Performance tradeoffs
Recommended practices
Implementation hints
Dozens of code examples and step-by-step walk-throughs

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.Amir M.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
