Rapid RMA for Rational Rose Real Time

Combining the Rate Monotonic Analysts (RMA) of RapidKMA with the visual modeling environment of Rational Rose RealTime, RapidRMA for Rational Rose RealTime allows real-time software developers to prevent costly design mistakes and accelerate their development schedules. Through the industry standard Unified Modeling Language (UML), plus real-time design constructs, axle generation, and model execution, Rose RealTime addresses the complete lifecycle of a project from early use case analysis, through design, implementation, and testing. By providing timing extensions to the UML language, RapidRMA for Rose RealTime verifies the performance of the design throughout this cycle. RapidRMA for Rose RealTime maintains timing analysis results in the UML model, and allows designers to test software models against various design scenarios and evaluate bow different implementations might optimize the performance of their systems. By isolating and identifying potential bottlenecks in both soft and hard real-time systems, RapidRMA for Rose RealTime can reduce development costs and avoid many hours of wasted manpower.

What is Rate Monotonic Analysis:
Rate Monotonic Analysis (RMA) is a collection of quantitative methods and algorithms used to analyze Realtime systems. The analysis determines whether your system is schedulable. In other words, RMA determines whether all tasks will execute by the appropriate deadlines using the resources specified.

RapidRMA for Rational Rose RealTime Benefits:

• Provides one model for both development and timing analysis
• Allows cost effective testing and modeling of systems
• Guarantees schedulability under "worst-case" conditions
• Isolates and identifies timing problems
• Reduces development time and cost
• Provides "what if" support to identify bottlenecks and performance issues
• Provides "worst-case" schedulability analysis
