A kernel can be defined as the essential center of an operating system. The kernel is the core of an operating system that provides a set of basic services for the other parts of the operating system.

Real-time scheduling of parallel tasks in multiprocessor systems is a critical field that underpins the reliability and efficiency of modern computing in applications ranging from embedded systems to ...

Real-time operating system kernels in embedded systems need to be configurable. Unfortunately many of today's commercial real-time kernels are monolithic. These optimized code packages are difficult ...

While the GNU/Linux Operating System is gaining popularity in research and student communities as well as in the business world, its impact is still limited for all those application areas requiring ...

CircuitPython users may be interested in a new real-time operating system (RTOS) created for the CircuitPython platform the aim of providing a pure Python RTOS. pyRTOS was modeled after FreeRTOS, with ...

When do you need to use a real-time operating system (RTOS) for an embedded project? What does it bring to the table, and what are the costs? Fortunately there are strict technical definitions, which ...

Real-Time Linux (RTLinux) is a small hard real-time kernel that can run Linux as its lowest priority thread. Begun as a free software project at New Mexico Tech in 1994, RTLinux is now being used in ...

You can find real-time operating systems (RTOS) everywhere. They are as ubiquitous as their more familiar operating-system cousins – Windows, Mac OS and Unix – that control software applications and ...

Modern DSP applications must respond quickly to many external events, be able to prioritize processing, and perform many tasks at once. These complex applications are also changing rapidly over time, ...
