“…Except a deterministic code generator, there is need for a adequate threading model, memory model including memory management, timer, scheduler and synchronization primitives. That is, a CLR has to be augmented with a lot of other features in order to fulfil real-time requirements, like considered in [24].…”

Virtualized runtime environments like Java Virtual Machine (JVM) or Microsoft .NET's Common Language Runtime (CLR) introduce additional challenges to real-time software development. Since applications for such environments are usually deployed in platform independent intermediate code, one issue is the timing of code transformation from intermediate code into native code. We have developed a solution for this problem, so that code transformation is suitable for real-time systems. It combines pre-compilation of intermediate code with the elimination of indirect references in native code. The gain of determinism comes with an increased application startup time. In this paper we present an optimization that utilizes an Ahead-of-Time compiler to reduce the startup time while keeping the real-time suitable timing behaviour. In an experiment we compare our approach with existing ones and demonstrate its benefits for certain application cases.

“…Whenever feasible, we prefer to enhance a compiler by safe means of expression instead of allowing the execution of arbitrary code. In the course of the Real-Time.Net [12] project at Hasso-PlattnerInstitute, a compiler for translating CLI intermediate instructions to target machine code, was built by developing a new front end for the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) [5] [11].…”

Virtual machine-based programming languages, such as Java and C # have made the programming of desktop computer systems simpler, less error-prone and more efficient. Embedded systems development rarely benefits from this advantages. This is because the disciplines special needs, such as direct hardware access and timelininess, are rarely considered in in these environments. In particular, virtual machines usually do not allow for accessing hardware directly, making it impossible to express substantial parts of embedded systems inside the virtual environment. By specifying additional rules, describing an implementation of a conforming compiler, and presenting examples, we show how the virtual machine defined by the ECMA standard 335 can be carefully extended to support hardware-near programming.
