Rapid development of real-time systems using RTExpress/sup TM/

This paper presents the RTExpress/sup TM/ environment which is a software tool that assists a user in rapidly developing real-time embedded systems. RTExpress(TM) is a compiler and runtime environment that provides the capability for MATLAB/sup R/ script files to be directly compiled and then executed on parallel high performance computers (HPC). RTExpress/sup TM/ provides the capability to employ the power of an HPC on standard MATLAB/sup R/ without having to recode the MATLAB/sup R/ in the HPC target language. Its features include support for real-time data and machine performance visualization, multiple parallelization paradigms, multiple homogeneous parallel architectures, utilization of machine specific optimized vector libraries and native compilers, and the ability to change real-time algorithm parameters on-the-fly.
