Summary
Real-Time Linux (RT-Linux) is a version of Linux designed for real-time applications. It allows Linux to run as a fully preemptive process, sharing a computer between real-time and non-real-time operating systems. Students learn how RT-Linux works and how it can be used for real-time tasks.
Introduction to RT-Linux
RT-Linux is a hard real-time operating system that runs Linux as a process. It was developed to control time-sensitive machines and instruments. It allows real-time and non-real-time systems to share data and run on the same device.
Problem Definition
Many real-time operating systems exist, but RT-Linux fills a gap by being open, standard, supported, efficient, and inexpensive. It offers hard real-time capabilities and can run on widely available computers.
Experimentation and Analysis
The document describes experiments conducted to measure RT-Linux's performance. It shows that RT-Linux can handle real-time tasks without affecting the Linux kernel's functioning.
Applications of RT-Linux
RT-Linux has been used in various applications, including recording and displaying hemodynamic measurements in rats. It is a viable platform for hard real-time processing.
Key terms
- RT-Linux
- A hard real-time version of the Linux operating system.
- Interrupt Latency
- The delay between an interrupt and its handling.
- Scheduling Strategy
- The method used to decide the order of task execution.
- Priority Bitmap Algorithm
- A hard real-time task scheduling algorithm.
- MERT
- Multi-Environment Real-Time, an early real-time operating system.
- POSIX
- A family of standards specified by the IEEE for maintaining compatibility between operating systems.
