Andreas Damm, J. Reisinger, Wolfgang Schwabl, Hermann Kopetz · ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review · 1989
This paper gives a short overview of the architecture of the distributed real-time system MARS ( MA intainable R eal-Time S ystem) and describes the design and implementation of its operating system. The main purpose of the MARS kernel is to achieve a timely execution of hard real-time tasks and to provide an efficient communication mechanism suitable for distributed real-time systems.
