Abstract: A method and apparatus including an overview component depicting a plurality of virtual machines on a display of a computerized system. Parameter details of at least one virtual machine are concurrently displayed with the overview component. The method steps include receiving the compiled source code for two applications, creating two relocatable virtual machines to run the compiled source codes, determining the parameters for the multiple virtual machine environment, locating the two relocatable virtual machines and generating a target executable file for the environment.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of running multiple concurrent virtual machines is disclosed. A memory component, a timer component, a multiple virtual machine control component, and a processor component can be included. The timer component can include a virtual machine activation period timer and a plurality of virtual machine dedicated timers. The processor component can process instructions of a virtual machine indicated to be the active virtual machine. The processor component can suspend processing instructions of a virtual machine when the virtual machine activation period timer causes the timer component to indicate a virtual machine switch. A memory protection component and process can also be included.

Abstract: A component model for use in a time sensitive embedded application. The system includes an event-generating software component that can generate an event notification in response to an event. It also includes a listener software component that can receive an event notification. Further, it includes an event transmission object that can facilitate transmission of an event notification from an event-generating software component to a listener software component. The event transmission object passes a primitive data type parameter that conveys data describing an event generated by said event-generating software component to a listener software component.

Abstract: An apparatus for associating a hardware event with a software component event. The system includes a hardware interrupt signal input. It also includes a first-in-first-out data structure coupled with the hardware interrupt signal input. Further included is a dispatch thread component coupled with the first-in-first-out data structure. The dispatch thread component can output a software event.

Abstract: An interrupt management system for a multiple virtual machine environment is disclosed. In a system concurrently running a plurality of independent virtual machines, each virtual machine has associated therewith a plurality of anticipated interrupt signal types. A plurality of interrupt signals can be received in such a system. The interrupt signal having the highest priority is determined and that interrupt can be serviced.
