  • Abstract
    A small nucleus suitable for a multitasking real-time control application is presented. It is shown that by using an appropriate high-level language (Modula-2) the implementation of such a nucleus is straightforward, and sufficiently transparent to allow it to be readily adapted for different applications. Timing tests are given which show that the performance of the nucleus compares very well even with that obtained from assembly-coded operating systems
