Minimally Intrusive Real-time Software Instrumentation Technologies

Real-Time Innovations (RTI) proposes to build a new architecture for non-intrusive instrumentation for distributed real-time systems. With this design, developers will directly see and record key internal application data, dynamically monitor network and process statistics, and analyze system operational performance all in real time. We will support direct code instrumentation, run-time patching, operating-system statistical collection, and integration with post-processing tools. Our goal is to provide visibility into all important system data, in real-time, with minimal developer effort. The data will be integrated and collected with OMG Data-Distribution Service (DDS) middleware, allowing immediate application to most of the Navys active software development programs. This network integration will also make the toolset capable of network-wide analysis of a distributed system. As both the worlds leading vendor of DDS middleware and the developer of the most successful real-time tool suite, RTI is uniquely qualified to deliver and support this critical functionality. We will collaborate with key customers, including NSWC-DD, SPAWAR, Raytheon (DDG-1000), and Lockheed Martin MS2 (Aegis) to ensure applicability to Naval systems. We will commercialize the results, and offer it as a COTS product to our over-300 current and all future customers.
