ABSTRACT

The Genesis Platform is a hardware/software platform that provides computing, communication, and input-output (I/O) services for implementing real-time embedded systems, known as hosted functions. Multiple systems can be architected and overlaid on the partitioned platform resources to form a highly integrated system with the unique characteristic of full isolation and independence of each individual system. As such, the Genesis Platform provides the starting point for the synthesis of a highly integrated real-time system, hence the name (Generic Networked Elements for the Synthesis of Integrated Systems). The platform elements are architected to maintain a high-integrity, fault-tolerant environment, necessary for hosting critical system functionality.
