The Unison Operating System is a real-time operating system (RTOS) optimized for system-on-a-chip (SoC), multi-core and digital signal processor (DSP) systems. It is open source. It offers Linux compatibility while being much smaller than Linux. The current version of Unison is completely POSIX compliant, offering application portability and very low cost hardware implementation options primary for embedded microcontrollers, but also for distributed multi-core and multiprocessor systems like autonomous robots and vehicles. It is so tiny that it takes a minimum of 1K byte to run 2 threads.
Unison was developed as a runtime for powerful real-time embedded heterogeneous multiprocessors which were used for military signal processing. The goal was to provide a software infrastructure that would support the construction of inexpensive, lower power, mobile and portable super computers. Upto 256 high performance signal processors were combined in a single portable supercomputer using the Unison RTOS by 1993.
Unison uses the Remedy Debugger, the Eclipse development environment, MPLAB, HEW on Microsoft Windows, Linux and Solaris. It uses the most familiar development environment for users on the platform in question. Unison has common technology and elements with DSPnano RTOS.
Unison has its roots in the Harmony Operating System developed by W. Morven Gentleman, Unix with POSIX in 1994, and pSOS+ developed by Software Components Group.
Unison has a number of industry commercial firsts including:
* RTOS simulator (CopyCat),
* heterogeneous multiprocessor (or multicore) RTOS,
* cross development IDE (Remedy and Composer),
* POSIX RTOS (Unison v2-partial, Unison v3.0),
* threaded RTOS
* graphical time based displays of target system execution
Unison and its associated tools were part of a complete requirements through implementation environment which featured natural language requirements specification, graphical design, object packaging, automatic code generation, flesh editing, system generation and automatic building and debugger inclusion (1989). This commercial offering called CASEworks/RT was the first of its kind, roughly 30 years ahead of the market.
Unison was the flagship product of Multiprocessor Toolsmiths which became RoweBots Research Inc.

Robbie Curran (born 21 January 1992) is a British actor, director and musician, known for his role as the naive but well-meaning Max in the 2011 thriller . Max is heavily comparable to the character of Piggy in Lord of the Flies, the novel upon which is widely considered to be based.
Early life
Curran was born in Barking, East London on the 21st January 1992 to Theresa, a psychotherapist, and Lawrence Curran, an IT specialist. During his early childhood, he travelled extensively due to his parent's work, living for periods of time in Chicago, Tel Aviv and Hong Kong. In 2007 he attended the National Youth Theatre.
Career
For much of his early career, Curran worked in fringe theatre. In 2010, he appeared as Fluellen in a production of Henry V with independent company Article 19. He followed this up in 2011 with an appearance as Dr. John Mendes in Pontypool with the company 3Bugs Fringe Theatre. The film is based on William Golding's Lord of the Flies, and Max is heavily infuenced from the character Piggy. Notably, Max is one of the only characters in Island based almost entirely on a character from Lord of the Flies, and is a role for which Curran has achieved minor note in mainstream British and American press.
In 2012, Curran returned to theatre, performing in productions of Thicker than Water, The Labotomy of Marco Leroux, and in Birmingham, where he is currently studying Drama and English Literature.<ref name = "Casting" />
