TCloop
TCloop, short for time-constrained loop, is a programming pattern used in real-time and embedded systems to execute a loop body at a predictable, fixed cadence. It supports deterministic timing by aligning iteration periods, which is critical for control tasks, sensor sampling, and synchronous audio or graphics processing.
In a typical TCloop, a period T defines the duration of each cycle. At the start of
TCloop can be implemented within a hard real-time or soft real-time context. Variants differ in how strictly
Applications include robotics control loops, motor controllers, data acquisition, audio and video processing pipelines, and game
