What is a real time engine?

A real time engine enables you to easily move through computer environments. It is often associated with gaming or virtual reality environments.

A real-time engine must have extremely high throughput with low latency and be able to scale out easily. Real time computing requires a guaranteed response – often under a millisecond. For example, a real time engine may be needed to deliver results during a live online gaming event and be able to handle a surge in traffic during peak hours or special promotions.

Other uses requiring a real time engine can include safety-critical applications such as anti-lock brakes, which require the proper mechanical response in real time.
