Real-Time Java™ Platform Programming

Chapter 15. More Async Events

• Async Events and the Scheduler

• The createReleaseParameters Method

• Bound Async Event Handlers

• Async Event Handlers and Non-Heap Memory

• No-Heap Event Handlers vs. No-Heap Threads

• Scheduling

• Async Event Handlers and Threads

• Special Async Events

The discussion in Chapter 11 covers the use of basic async event handlers, but there is more. Async event handlers can use scoped memory, and like a NoHeapRealtimeThread, an async event handler can rise above the garbage collector.

For most purposes, a no-heap async event handler is a better way to run in no-heap mode than is a no-heap real-time thread.
