Synopsis

Learn how real-time control overcomes UNIX limits to meet millisecond deadlines.

In this book, you’ll see why standard UNIX systems fall short for real-time tasks and how a purpose-built system reshapes the kernel for speed and predictability. It also explains how a UNIX-like environment can be leveraged for real-time development without abandoning familiar tools.

  • A real-time scheduler that guarantees top-priority processes run first, reducing unpredictable delays.
  • Extended timer facilities with microsecond precision and methods to minimize clock skew.
  • Advanced memory management, including segments, shared memory, and memory-mapped I/O for fast device access.
  • Faster synchronization primitives and kernel-assisted techniques to lower overhead and boost responsiveness.
Ideal for readers of engineering and robotics control who design and debug real-time supervisory systems.
