QP/C++ (Quantum Platform in C++) is a lightweight, open source
[Real-Time Embedded Framework (RTEF)][RTEF] for building modern embedded
software as systems of asynchronous, event-driven [active objects][Active]

QP/C++ can also work with a traditional RTOS, such as ThreadX, FreeRTOS, embOS,
uC/OS-II and TI-RTOS, as well as with (embedded) Linux (POSIX) and Windows.
## Maturity
With 60,000 downloads a year, the [QP] family is the most popular such
solution on the embedded software market. It provides a modern, reusable
architecture for embedded applications, which combines the active-object
model of concurrency with hierarchical state machines.
## Popularity and Maturity
With 20 years of continuous development, over [350 commercial licensees][Cust],
and many times more open source users worldwide, the QP<51> frameworks are the
most popular such offering on the market. They power countless electronic
products ranging from implantable medical devices to complex weapon systems.
