RTOSs
A Real-Time Operating System, or RTOS, is an operating system designed to process data and events with minimal delay. Unlike general-purpose operating systems, which prioritize throughput and fairness, RTOSs focus on determinism and predictability. This means that tasks are executed within strict time constraints, and the system's response to events is guaranteed to occur within a specified deadline.
The core of an RTOS is its scheduler, which is responsible for managing the execution of tasks.
RTOSs are essential in applications where timing is critical. Examples include embedded systems in automotive control,
