About DSP/BIOS
DSP/BIOS is a scalable real-time kernel. It is designed to be used by
applications that require real-time scheduling and synchronization, host-to-
target communication, or real-time instrumentation. DSP/BIOS provides
preemptive multi-threading, hardware abstraction, real-time analysis, and
configuration tools.
