Real-time operating systems (RTOS) are operating systems that are designed to provide deterministic performance. They are used in embedded systems, such as those found in industrial automation, medical devices, and aerospace applications. RTOSs are designed to respond to external events in a timely manner, and to prioritize tasks based on their importance. They are also designed to be reliable and secure, and to minimize the amount of system resources used. RTOSs are typically used in applications where a response time of a few milliseconds is required, and where the system must be able to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. They are also used in applications where the system must be able to handle unpredictable workloads, such as those found in industrial automation. Some companies in the RTOS market include Wind River, Microsoft, Green Hills Software, and Express Logic. Show Less Read more
