Portability is an important attribute of real-time operating systems because their target hardware environments routinely vary from special purpose processors to parallel machines to distributed execution environments. In this paper, we address the issue of operating systems portability by development of a real-time threads package based on the Mach cthreads interface. Real-time threads have been implemented on standard Unix platforms and on a 32-node BBN Butterfly multiprocessor. In contrast to cthreads, the schedulability of real-time threads may be determined dynamically at the time of threads creation. In addition, any scheduling guarantees made at thread creation time are maintained when threads communicate or cooperate using the package's other primitives.
