Types of Operating System
Real Time OS & Distributed OS
A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system (OS) intended to
serve real-time applications that process data as it comes in, typically without
buffer delays. Processing time requirements (including any OS delay) are
measured in tenths of seconds or shorter increments of time. A real-time
system is a time-bound system which has well-defined, fixed time constraints.
Processing must be done within the defined constraints or the system will fail.
They either are event-driven or time-sharing. Event-driven systems switch
between tasks based on their priorities, while time-sharing systems switch the
task based on clock interrupts.
