  2. Real-time computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computing

    Some examples of hard real-time systems: A car engine control system is a hard real-time system because a delayed signal may cause engine failure or damage. Medical systems such as heart pacemakers. Even though a pacemaker's task is simple, because of the potential risk to human life, medical systems like these are typically required to undergo ...

  3. Real-time operating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_operating_system

    A "hard" real-time operating system (hard RTOS) has less jitter than a "soft" real-time operating system (soft RTOS); a late answer is a wrong answer in a hard RTOS while a late answer is acceptable in a soft RTOS. The chief design goal is not high throughput, but rather a guarantee of a soft or hard performance category.

  4. Comparison of real-time operating systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_real-time...

    This is a list of real-time operating systems (RTOSs). This is an operating system in which the time taken to process an input stimulus is less than the time lapsed until the next input stimulus of the same type.

  5. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware-in-the-loop...

    Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, also known by various acronyms such as HiL, HITL, and HWIL, is a technique that is used in the development and testing of complex real-time embedded systems. HIL simulation provides an effective testing platform by adding the complexity of the process-actuator system, known as a plant , to the test platform.

  6. ITRON project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITRON_Project

    ITRON specification is meant for hard real-time embedded RTOS. It is very popular in the embedded market, as there are many applications for it, i.e., devices with the OS embedded inside. For example, there is an ACM Queue interview with Jim Ready, founder of MontaVista (realtime linux company), "Interview with Jim Reddy", April 2003, ACM Queue ...

  7. RTLinux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTLinux

    RTLinux is a hard realtime real-time operating system (RTOS) microkernel that runs the entire Linux operating system as a fully preemptive process. The hard real-time property makes it possible to control robots, data acquisition systems, manufacturing plants, and other time-sensitive instruments and machines from RTLinux applications.

  8. Embedded system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_system

    An embedded system on a plug-in card with processor, memory, power supply, and external interfaces. An embedded system is a specialized computer system—a combination of a computer processor, computer memory, and input/output peripheral devices—that has a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electronic system.

  9. Embedded operating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_operating_system

    An Embedded Operating System (EOS) is an operating system designed specifically for embedded computer systems. These systems aim to enhance functionality and reliability to perform dedicated tasks. [1] When the multitasking method employed allows for timely task execution, such an OS may qualify as a real-time operating system (RTOS). [2]
