Running DUECA on Mac OSX

Introduction

DUECA is a middleware environment for real-time distributed calculation. DUECA has been developed since 1998, been taken in production in 1999, used in the SIMONA Research Simulator since

1. DUECA development was initially targeted at Linux and QNX Neutrino, the operating systems used in running the SRS and various other labs and facilities at Control and Simulation. Since 2014 a version for MAC OS X has become available. Early experience shows that his version runs fine, but in terms of real-time performance is no match for running DUECA on Linux with even a standard kernel, and certainly no match for running it on a Linux with a PREEMPT_RT patched kernel. Thus this DUECA version is targeted at development and demonstration purposes, for running a lab it is really recommended to run under Linux.
