After introducing interrupts and the foreground/background architecture, I am finally ready to tackle the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this first lesson on RTOS (commonly ...

This fifth lesson on RTOS finally addresses the real-time aspect of the “Real-Time Operating System” name. Specifically, in the video lesson 26, you add a preemptive, priority-based scheduler to the ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...

Wind River Systems, the leading provider of a realtime embedded operating system known as VxWorks, for example, unveiled this week its first reselling agreement with semiconductor distributor the ...

In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system project managing real-time constraints while analyzing the system in-order to meet them. Students are expected to ...

Just a few years ago, everyone focused on moving data to the cloud for AI utilization. However, in environments where ...

Why external consistency is so important for a hard real-time database. Maintaining a transaction timeline. The impact of a transaction-scheduling policy. A real-time database-management system (DMBS) ...

When I first started writing embedded software, the environments that I found to be the most efficient and easiest to use were only available on Microsoft Windows. In fact, it wasn’t uncommon for ...

The actual definition of real-time database versus the abused interpretation used by marketers of real fast database systems. The interplay of transient and persistent memory, and hard and soft ...
