Virtuoso's
Multi-Threaded Host Server
by Eonic Systems

Software Overview

The Virtuoso multi-threaded host server is an add-on product for the real-time OSs. It offers a 
greatly-extended connectivity between the host (under Windows or Solaris) and one or more tasks 
running on the target network. This allows to spread the applications functionality over host 
platform and real-time nodes.
The generic functionality consists of up to 128 logically-independent bi-directional communication 
channels between tasks on the real-time side (e.g., on a DSP board) and applications on the host 
side. On the host side, sockets or DLLs are used. This allows to interconnect one or more host 
systems via networks with one host running the host server which is connected to the target 
network. The Virtuoso tools use a few of these channels for its own system std I/O console, the 
task-level debugger and the tracing monitor.
