Which type of operating system is engineered to manage tasks that require immediate processing and ensures predefined processing times to meet strict deadlines?
RTOS, or Real-time Operating System, is tailored for handling operations with strict timing constraints, ensuring tasks are executed within a fixed amount of time. This is critical for environments where delays cannot be tolerated, such as in embedded systems for medical devices or industrial control scenarios. Other operating systems cannot provide such strict timing guarantees as they are designed for more general-purpose use and task management.
