Providing a computing system with real-time capabilities
First Claim
1. A method for providing a computing system with real-time capabilities so that the computing system is capable of running applications such that one or more real-time criteria are satisfied, comprising:
- disabling an interrupt architecture of the computing system, the interrupt architecture generating interrupts sent to a firmware of the computing system in response to events;
substituting a different architecture within the computing system for the interrupt architecture of the computing system, the different architecture responsive to the events, without violating the real-time criteria; and
,in response to the events occurring, the different architecture of the computing system causing one or more corrective actions to be performed.

Abstract
A computing system is provided with real-time capabilities so that the system is capable of running applications such that one or more real-time criteria are satisfied. An interrupt architecture of the computing system is disabled. The interrupt architecture generates interrupts sent to a firmware of the computing system in response to events. A different architecture is substituted within the computing system for the interrupt architecture. The different architecture is responsive to the events without violating the real-time criteria. In response to the events occurring, the different architecture causes one or more corrective actions to be performed.

14. A computing system comprising:
-
one ore more applications to be run on the computing system in real-time such that one or more real-time criteria are satisfied; firmware; an interrupt architecture by which generated interrupts are sent to the firmware in response to events; and
,an additional architecture responsive to the events without violating the real-time criteria, wherein the interrupt architecture is disabled and the additional architecture is enabled to run the applications on the computing system in real-time such that the real-time criteria are satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
