Eric J. Bruno, systems engineer at Sun Microsystems, specializes in Java RTS in the financial community. He is contributing editor for Dr. Dobb’s Journal, and writes its online Java blog. Prior to Sun, Eric worked at Reuters where he developed real-time trading systems, order-entry and routing systems, as well as real-time news and quotes feeds, in both Java and C++.
Greg Bollella, Ph.D., distinguished engineer at Sun Microsystems, leads R&D for real-time Java. He was specifi cation lead for JSR-001, the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ), and led the Real-Time for Java Expert Group under the Java Community Process. He has written multiple books, articles, and professional papers about real-time computing. He has a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he wrote a dissertation on real-time scheduling theory and real-time systems implementation.
The Definitive Guide to Java RTS for Developers and Architects
- For Java developers and architects moving to real-time, and real-time developers moving to Java
- Walks through start-to-finish case study applications, identifying their constraints and discussing the APIs and design patterns used to address them
- Written by the former leader of the real-time Java standards process and one of Wall Street’s top real-time developers
Sun Microsystems’ Java Real-Time System (Java RTS) is proving itself in numerous, wide-ranging environments, including finance, control systems, manufacturing, and defense. Java RTS and the RTSJ standard (JSR-001) eliminate the need for complicated, specialized, real-time languages and operating environments, saving money by leveraging Java’s exceptional productivity and familiarity.
In Real-Time Java™ Programming, two of Sun’s top real-time programming experts present the deep knowledge and realistic code examples that developers need to succeed with Java RTS and its APIs. As they do so, the authors also illuminate the foundations of real-time programming in any RTSJ-compatible environment.
Key topics include
- Real-time principles and concepts, and the unique requirements of real-time application design and development
- How Java has been adapted to real-time environments
- A complete chapter on garbage collection concepts and Java SE collectors
- Using the Java RTS APIs to solve actual real-time system problems as efficiently as possible
- Utilizing today’s leading Java RTS development and debugging tools
- Understanding real-time garbage collection, threads, scheduling, and dispatching
- Programming new RTSJ memory models
- Dealing with asynchronous event handling and asynchronous transfer of control

a earnest book about a serious subject, By JUG Lugano (Lugano, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real-Time Java Programming: With Java RTS (Paperback)
Original review by Gianfranco Tognana, JUG Lugano www.juglugano.chThis book starts very intriguing: An elavator is a real time system. A web server is not. Real Time in not 'run as fast as you can' like the Gingerbread says. It is all about reliable timing. This book explain in thorough (very thorough) detail what's wrong with standard java and what happens when RTSJ comes to the rescue. You will learn how the garbage collector, a bad guy of standard java, is tamed, the JIT compiler, another nasty mug, is rendered harmless and how you can instruct threads to perform exactly what you want and not let them dawdle. You will find: long deep theoretical explanations of how the garbage collertors are (or could be) implemented and long deep theoretical and practical explanations of how you can avoid the JIT compiler and long deep theoretical and practical explanations of how you can avoid the dynamic classloading and long deep...

Great Book with a useful final use case in the Investment Bank area,
This review is from: Real-Time Java Programming: With Java RTS (Paperback)
This book really is a must-have for experienced Java developers who want to dig into the real-time programming in Java. It provides a solid background of the main concerns affecting non real-time environments and how these can be addressed by using RTSJ complaint JVMs and the real-time systems in general. Being a long term Investment Bank employee, I found it really interesting the examples proposed across the book. In fact, they are mostly based on finance related use cases (Chapter 11), like Order Routing Management and Equity Derivatives Systems having to deal with real-time Market Data feeds. Maybe, the only downside or, let's say missing, is that when it comes to Chapter 12, it "only" focuses on the tracing tools available in Solaris 10 (DTrace) used by the Sun Thread Scheduling Visualizer (TSV) tool, not mentioning other platforms (Linux based) on which the real-time JVM can run (see the IBM Websphere Real Time JVM), which is understandable given that the book has been written...
