'''RTLinux''' is a [[hard realtime]] [[real-time operating system|RTOS]] (RTOS) [[microkernel]] that runs the entire [[Linux]] [[operating system]] as a fully [[Preemptionpreemption (computing)|preemptive]] process. The hard real-time property makes it possible to control robots, data acquisition systems, manufacturing plants, and other time-sensitive instruments and machines from RTLinux applications. Even with a similar name it is not related the [[Real-Time Linux]] project of the [[Linux Foundation]].<ref>[https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/realtime/start "Real-Time Linux"] project of the Linux Foundation.</ref>
RTLinux was developed by Victor Yodaiken, Michael Barabanov, Cort Dougan and others at the [[New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology]] and then as a commercial product at [[FSMLabs]]. [[Wind River Systems]] acquired FSMLabs embedded technology in February 2007 and made a version available as Wind River Real-Time Core for [[Wind River Linux]]. As of August 2011, Wind River has discontinued the Wind River Real-Time Core product line, effectively ending commercial support for the RTLinux product.
