AdaRose Develops Windows Device Drivers:

As part of the contract with Northrop Grumman, AdaRose developed dedicated Windows device drivers to interface with the Navigation System, the Display Unit, the servo weapon controller, and the Server IO discrete functions. These dedicated drivers replaced a single generic kernel I/O (KIO) driver in the legacy system where all data processing was being performed within the application software. The benefits of the new approach are: device-specific code has been moved into the driver, cutting down on the hardware dependencies in the application code; application code has been simplified; and overall system performance has been increased due to the dedicated nature of the drivers. The AdaRose driver structure provides a simple mechanism to take advantage of these devices in the future with only minimal software effort.
