Real-time system
From Computer History Wiki
(Redirected from Real time operating system)
Real-time systems are those which are intended to interact with the 'real world', and need to meet timing constraints originating with the real-world events they are controlling or observing.
Such systems usually contain schedulers which can guarantee that a given computational element (be it a process or a task) is executing before a certain real-time deadline - hence their usual name, deadline schedulers.
