Abstract
CARTS was designed to define the interface between the code generated by an Ada compiler and the Ada runtime system. Most of the packages in the CARTS definition are not accessible to the software engineer. The RTS_Primitives interface is an exception. It provides a software engineer with access to the low-level features of the runtime system. These facilities permit the software engineer to develop alternative task scheduling and dispatching algorithms.
The CARTS interrupt interface defined in the RTS_Primitives package provides sufficient access to the system level interrupt service facilities of the i960MC and R3000 for a user to develop efficient interrupt-driven systems. As described in Sections 3 and 4, each CARTS interrupt class has some level of overhead which should be considered in the development of such systems.
