Apple debuts ‘Submerged,’ the first scripted film captured in Apple Immersive Video, for Apple Vision Pro

Submerged, the first scripted film captured in Apple Immersive Video, written and directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Edward Berger, is now available on Apple Vision Pro.
Apple Vision Pro is a remarkable media format leveraging ultra-high-resolution 3D video and spatial audio to put viewers in the center of the action.
Apple and The Weeknd will launch an immersive music experience next month celebrating the artist's new album.
Concert for One, a new concert series set to debut later this year, will also offer intimate performances from the world’s biggest artists, beginning with a special set from RAYE.
Submerged is an immersive fiction thriller set in a WWII-era submarine following the crew as they combat a harrowing attack, showcasing the unique storytelling experiences made possible by Apple Immersive Video.
Submerged was filmed using real steel, brass, and metal in Prague, Brussels, and Malta over three weeks, and was filmed using full-scale 23-ton submarine set.
Apple Immersive Video is designed to expand the horizon of storytelling, and the director of Submerged expects this immersive technology pioneered by Apple to change the future of filmmaking.
The new episodes, films, series, and concerts join the growing Apple Immersive Video catalog, which includes Alicia Keys: Rehearsal Room, Boundless, Elevated, Prehistoric Planet Immersive, Wild Life, and more — all available from the Apple TV app on Apple Vision Pro.
Apple Vision Pro is available in Australia, Canada, China mainland, Hong Kong, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, the U.K., and the U.S
Users can enjoy a free demo of Apple Vision Pro and receive an extended preview of Submerged upon request beginning October 14th in selected countries and regions.

How to fix Mac not showing new software update even though a new update is available

If your Mac is not showing a new software update even though it's available, several solutions are available.
First, make sure that your Mac is compatible with the new software update.
You should also check if a new non-beta or beta update has come out, as your Mac may not receive beta updates.
In addition, the Software Update section under System Settings is not just for updating to a newer version of macOS. Updates to Command Line Tools and new symbols are also handled via System Settings.
If an update is available, switching back and forth between the “Software Update Available” option shown at the top of System Settings and General > Software Update can sometimes fix the issue.
If that doesn’t work, force quit System Settings and reopen it, restart your Mac, turn off VPN, change to a different network, or restart your Wi-Fi router.
It can also be useful to check if your Internet is working, as your Mac must have a working Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Personal Hotspot connection for the new update to be visible.
If nothing above works, take a break and retry after a couple of hours, as Apple’s servers can be overwhelmed when a new major update is published.

How do you test RTOS performance?

RTOS performance tests are developed for common features available in any RTOS.
The benchmark suite used in this experiment is the Thread Metric Benchmark Suite that consists of eight tests.
The calibration test is the first test in this suite which is performed to ensure that the platform of the test operates in a similar manner.
The next five tests are Cooperative Scheduling, Preemptive Scheduling, Memory Allocation, Synchronization Processing (Semaphores), and Message Passing.
Each test is run for 30-second intervals, providing the value accumulated in a counter as the result.
To get a reasonable comparison, each RTOS must be configured in a way that makes it fair.
Each RTOS has unique features and configurations that must be accounted for an accurate comparison.
The tests were performed on three popular open-source RTOSes - Zephyr RTOS, FreeRTOS, and Eclipse ThreadX - and one commercial RTOS - PX5 RTOS.
The results of the experiment provided a feel for how the differentiating features might perform for each RTOS.
Engineers can use the data gathered from the experiment to make the right design decisions and ensure that they don't leave any much-needed performance on the table.
