Chapter 21, Problem 21.10E
Explanation of Solution
General purpose operating systems as realtime system platforms:
General purpose operating systems such as linux or windows are not suitable as realtime system platforms because of the following reasons:
- General purpose operating systems such as linux or windows are system software that manages computer hardware and software whereas real-time system platforms are those systems in which the correctness of the system depends not only on the logical result of computation, but also on the time at which the results are produced.
- General purpose operating systems are used for system or applications that are not time critical whereas real-time system platforms are used for time critical systems...
