14The Real Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems
15(RTEMS) is designed to be portable across multiple processor
16architectures.  However, the nature of real-time systems makes
17it essential that the application designer understand certain
18processor dependent implementation details.  These processor
19dependencies include calling convention, board support package
20issues, interrupt processing, exact RTEMS memory requirements,
21performance data, header files, and the assembly language
22interface to the executive.
