Rainbow-OS features:


  • Multiple concurrent consistency models

    Although Rainbow-OS is working with a strong transactional consistency model by default other consistency models can be included as well. A programmer can choose freely which consistency model suits his needs the best. For instance, not all kind of video data have to be refreshed with every frame. For a slow computer it can be sufficent to view only each second frame of a framegrabber device. The transactional consisteny would ensure that evey frame will be received by the slow computer. With a weaker consistency model this can be softened, thus gaining even more performance.
