Performance evaluation by CTRON kernel benchmark

A layered software structure (platform) is a means of improving portability and maintainability of software in information processing and switching systems. The authors have proposed a CTRON benchmark program for evaluating the performance of various platforms. They examined the following aspects, based on the results of platform evaluations using the CTRON benchmark program: methods for normalizing hardware performance, performance differences depending on OS implementation, performance comparison between CTRON-specification systems, and other realtime operating systems.
