A real-time operating system (RTOS) is specialized control software that's often used in embedded computing applications that have tight memory resources and stringent performance requirements ...

Systems based on this scheduling approach are popular in real-time systems because they are the most readily analyzed of the more sophisticated scheduling mechanisms. In the next article, we will turn ...

Linux is not a real-time operating system (RTOS), meaning that it can’t respond to requests in the real world within a set timeframe.

Wind River has reinvented the real-time operating system (RTOS) to address the new market opportunities created by the Internet of Things (IoT) with i ...

The work done on real-time Linux has benefitted the open-source OS for years, but it was only this week that Linus Torvalds admitted its last piece into the mainline kernel. Exactly what took so long?

The solution to this dilemma is to decouple the real-time and non-real-time parts of the operating system. That is, instead of trying to make one operating system support both, we make a system in ...

Express Logic, the San Diego company behind the ThreadX RTOS (real-time operating system), is joining Microsoft’s Azure division in an acquisition deal announced Thursday.

The Integrity real-time operating system gives designers of MIPS32-based defense systems a secure, reliable, royalty-free target environment for deploying their applications. Integrity builds a ...

With Linux being used more often in automobiles and the Internet of Things, The Linux Foundation and partners have created the Real-Time Linux Collaborative Project to accelerate its growth as a ...

Companies providing Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) for the avionics industry face tough challenges as they confront demand for both higher functionality and higher safety requirements. At the ...

The best solution is to either use an operating system designed for real-time operation, or offload real-time operations to a separate controller.

Real-time operating systems require a set of functionality to effectively perform their function, which is to be able to execute all of their tasks without violating specified timing constraints. This ...
