Real-Time Scheduling

← Back to CPU Scheduling

Scheduling for systems with strict timing constraints. Hard real-time systems must meet every deadline (medical devices, avionics), while soft real-time systems tolerate occasional misses (video playback, gaming). Common algorithms include rate monotonic and Earliest Deadline First (EDF).

Key Properties

• Hard vs Soft Real-Time
• Rate Monotonic Scheduling
• Earliest Deadline First

• Preemptive vs Cooperative (real-time typically requires preemption)
