12The Real Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems
13(RTEMS) is designed to be portable across multiple processor
14architectures.  However, the nature of real-time systems makes
15it essential that the application designer understand certain
16processor dependent implementation details.  These processor
17dependencies include calling convention, board support package
18issues, interrupt processing, exact RTEMS memory requirements,
19performance data, header files, and the assembly language
20interface to the executive.
