Real-Time Operating Systems

As instantly performing for demanded management from input devices and programs, ROTS makes that user couldn't recognize a time interval between demanding needs and making certain of result.

RTOS is software that manages the time of a microprocessor or microcontroller. Real-time systems are characterized by the fact that severe consequences can result if the logical and timing correctness properties of the system are not met. A real-time multitasking application is a system in which several time-critical activities must be processed simultaneously. A real-time multitasking kernel (also called a real-time operating system, RTOS) is software that ensures time-critical events are processed as efficiently as possible. The use of an RTOS generally simplifies the design process of a system by allowing the application to be divided into multiple independent elements called "tasks".

Real Time Operating System. For effective interaction, an operating system must be able to function within the constraints of real time (see entry). The CD-I's OS-9 based operating system is an RTOS. (7/96)

An operating system designed specifically for use in real-time systems that respond to external events within a short and predictable time frame.

Acronym for real-time operating system. An operating system that guarantees a certain capability within a specified time constraint.

A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system that guarantees a certain capability within a specified time constraint. Close Window
