Real-time operating system
Abbreviated as RTOS, a real-time operating system or embedded operating system is a computer operating system
designed to handle events as they occur. Real-time operating systems
are commonly found and used in robotics, cameras, complex multimedia
animation systems, communications, and have various military and
government uses.
A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system (OS) intended to serve real-time
applications which process data as it comes in, typically without
buffering delays. Processing time requirements (including any OS delay)
are measured in tenths of seconds or shorter increments of time.
