MapuSoft’s Ada-C/C++ Changer Features:

• Automatically convert Ada code to C++ and re-deploy your application.
• Eliminate the need for a costly and tedious code re-write for extensive cost and time savings.
• Error free tool that prevents mistakes made in the error prone task of a manual rewrite.
• Supports conversion of Ada 83 and Ada 95 source code to ANSI C++ 03 output.
• Preserves Ada comments, files structures and variable names for easier code maintenance. Converts Ada generics to C++ templates (In some cases, Ada generic can become a non-generic/non-template depending on original code).
• Supports Ada tasking and rendezvous constructs. Supports Calendar, System, Unchecked_Conversion, Record Representation Clauses, Variant Records, Declare Block Statements, Ada Tick Functions, Renames (for packages, variables, records, and types), “use” for packages and types, Ada Strings, access (including access all, access procedure, nested subroutines).

Add-on tool features and re-factoring services:

• Generate design documents of existing & new code. Transform Database and User-Interface implementation.
• Remove dead or redundant code/data. Merge and consolidate duplicate code/data.
• Reorganize and improve design in new code/data. Remove flaws in new code that originally existed in old.
• Create reusable optimization/packaging/redistribution modules.
• Integrate with modern parallel/multi processing and distributed/N-Tier operational environments.
• Modernization of legacy systems to multi-tier architectures.
• Modernization of flat file, hierarchical and legacy databases.
• Modernization of legacy UI to web or other modern UI.
• Re-factor to improve maintainability, security and performance.
• Custom pattern-based changes. Migration to modern cloud architectures.
• Testing & integration support solutions.
• Extraction of business rules from legacy systems

MapuSoft's RTOS Simulator is a one-stop solution that makes all the popular RTOS platforms available to educational institutions, at a fraction of cost of a single proprietary OS. RTOS Simulator creates a development and testing environment on standard Windows/Linux personal computers. Students get hands-on experience developing real-world embedded software applications, improving their post-education marketability. Many students who have mastered embedded software development, now have lucrative jobs in a variety of industries, such as Mil-Aero, Electronics, Medical, Automotive, Telecommunication and many more.

Linux Optimization Kit: Increase Performance of Linux Applications

Developers are feeling additional pressure to get a performance increase from their embedded Linux due to increased real-time demands on applications, while having limited resources on their existing target hardware platform. To achieve additional performance, they will need to dig into the Linux operating system code to re-build the kernel and spend a considerable amount of time re-designing the application to improve performance.

MapuSoft’s Linux OK™ (Linux Optimization Kit) framework provides several kernel and application specific optimization features all aimed at increasing CPU performance, speeding up boot-time and reducing memory footprint for Linux applications.

The Linux Optimization Kit provides header files and template code to re-direct the application to use the Linux OK interfaces. It also generates optimized interface code, based on the level of individual API usage in the application, and according to GUI settings input by the user which captures resource requirements and target environment settings. Linux OK improves application performance by reducing run-time creation and deletion of OS resources by pooling and reusing them across applications/processes. Linux OK also reduces unnecessary task and user/kernel mode switching.
