Febrauary 2012 - Tri-Pacific Software joins IBM Rational program to resell their Industry leading Real-Time UML modeling tool, Rhapsody, with Tri-Pacific's Real-Time analysis tool suite, RapidRMA, as a "solution" for engineers building safety-critical, real-time and embedded sytems.
Tri-Pacific Software has been an IBM Rational Business Partner selling its Industry leading real-time analysis tool suite, RapidRMA, to IBM Rational customers using the RT UML tool suite, Rhapsody. The seamless integration of RapidRMA with Rhapsody has provided users with a single environment to build and then analyze their architectures to understand potential flaws in timing, scheduling or resource usage with their proposed designs. Now those users can purchase the "solution" from Tri-Pacific Software which will include Rhapsody and RapidRMA in a single source for their modeling purchase. As a company focused on providing real-time and embedded solutions for customers it is a natural progression for Tri-Pacific to package those solutions with the help of IBM Rational. Tri-Pacific will also provide the necessary training and consulting services to support those combined activities.

Combining Rate Monotonic Analysis (RMA) with the visual modeling environment of IBM Rational Rhapsody®, RAPID RMA for IBM Rational Rhapsody provides real-time software developers with tools to prevent costly design mistakes and accelerate their development schedules. Through the industry standard Unified Modeling Language™ (UML), plus real-time design constructs, code generation, and model execution, IBM Rational Rhapsody addresses the complete lifecycle of a project— from early use case analysis, through design, implementation, and testing. By providing timing extensions to the UML language, RAPID RMA for IBM Rational Rhapsody verifies the performance of the design throughout this cycle. RAPID RMA for IBM Rational Rhapsody maintains timing analysis results in the UML model, and allows designers to test software models against various design scenarios and evaluate how different implementations might optimize the performance of their systems. By isolating and identifying potential bottlenecks in both soft and hard real-time systems, RAPID RMA for IBM Rational Rhapsody can reduce development costs and avoid many hours of wasted manpower.
“Our systems need to meet explicit quantitative performance goals. If you miss a timing sequence when designing a satellite, it falls out of the sky. RMA-based tools are the only ones that can perform the sophisticated technical analysis we need to assure quality real-time system design.”
- Lockheed Martin
What is Rate Monotonic Analysis?
Rate Monotonic Analysis (RMA) is a collection of quantitative methods and algorithms used to analyze real-time systems. The analysis determines whether your system is schedulable. In other words, RMA determines whether all tasks will execute by the appropriate deadlines using the resources specified.
