@techreport{helander1998mmlite, author = {Helander, Johannes and Forin, Alessandro}, title = {MMLite: A Highly Componentized System Architecture}, year = {1998}, month = {January}, abstract = {MMLite is a modular system architecture that is suitable for a wide variety of hardware and applications. The system provides a selection of object-based components that are dynamically assembled into a full application system. Amongst these components is a namespace, which supports a new programming model, where components are automatically loaded on demand. The virtual memory manager is optional and is loaded on demand. Components can be easily replaced and reimplemented. A third party independently replaced the real-time scheduler with a different implementation. Componentization reduced the development time and led to a flexible and understandable system. MMLite is efficient, portable, and has a very small memory footprint. It runs on several microprocessors, including two VLIW processors. It is being used on processors that are embedded in a number of multimedia DirectX accelerator boards.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/mmlite-a-highly-componentized-system-architecture/}, pages = {8}, number = {MSR-TR-98-53}, }
