Real time multitasking system application incorporating VRTX

Abstract

The real time multitasking systems are becoming increasingly popular for control and monitoring functions typically encountered in industry as well as day to day life. They have to manage adequately many concurrent processes or tasks, each of which is sequential in nature. The concurrency is achieved by running asynchronous tasks at different speeds and providing for communication and synchronization. In order to fully exploit the power and capabilities of today's sophisticated microprocessors and to provide a programming methodology for structuring real time applications a real time multitasking operating system becomes critical.
