RTOS

Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)

An RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) is an operating system designed to process data and execute tasks within strict, predictable time constraints, making it suitable for embedded and safety-critical systems. Examples include FreeRTOS, VxWorks, and QNX, which are used by embedded systems engineers in industries like automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and industrial control. Unlike general-purpose operating systems, an RTOS prioritizes deterministic response times over overall throughput.
