Real-Time Architecture Design - Juggling with Time    Newsletter No 21-e

A real-time operating system (RTOS) provides the most important services required for the implementation of architectural designs in embedded applications. In many cases, an industry standard RTOS carries out tasks like memory management, multi-tasking, communication, event and message handling, etc. faster and more reliably than a self developed runtime system. Improved and safe run-time behavior not only saves costs but also enhances quality. For smaller applications, resource consumption and performance of an RTOS are often critical issues.
