| VxWin® provides an ideal execution environment for a wide variety of industrial applications. While VxWorks® is dedicated to control real-time, deterministic tasks, Windows® can simultaneously carry out a variety of functions. Although Windows® is frequently used as a graphics-oriented control console, it can additionally be used to perform many data management and communication functions and participates in an enterprise-wide information and control system.
With VxWin® developers can design scaleable applications using VxWin® from single-core systems up to high end dual-core or quad-core systems. Depending on the performance requirements of the solution, the OS’s could share one core on a low-cost single core system or run exclusively each OS on his own cores of a high-end multi-core system. | |
