Estoy experimentando con un pequeño kernel en tiempo real que básicamente no puede hacer nada más que contar hasta el próximo prime. Utiliza E / S por interrupción. Pero, ¿por qué es un kernel en tiempo real?
Leí que Linux se convirtió en un núcleo en tiempo real en 2002, ¿es correcto?
Uso Altera DE2 y el código en el que lo baso es 1 archivo de ensamblaje, 1 archivo de encabezado y 2 archivos C. Por favor, ayúdame a entender.

El punto de un sistema de tiempo real (duro) es que debe hacer ciertas cosas dentro de un tiempo fijo. Si se hace más tarde, aunque sea un poco, el sistema es inútil. Piense en un airbag de automóvil que explota después de que su cabeza golpea el volante.
Un sistema operativo en tiempo real debe proporcionar garantías fijas para el máximo tiempo necesario para hacer cosas del sistema operativo, como la interrupción de la latencia, el cambio de tareas, etc. Asimismo, las bibliotecas que vienen con él deben proporcionar tales garantías.
Los sistemas operativos en tiempo no real generalmente intentan maximizar el rendimiento promedio . Considere tres lecturas de disco, que pueden realizarse en 1 ms, 1 ms y 5 ms, o alternativamente en 3 ms, 3 ms y 3 ms. Un sistema operativo que no sea en tiempo real tenderá a preferir la primera opción, porque el trabajo total se realiza en 7 ms. Un sistema operativo en tiempo real probablemente preferirá la segunda opción, porque el retraso máximo de lectura del disco es de 3 ms.
Hasta donde sé, Linux no es un sistema operativo en tiempo real. No es probable que lo sea, porque su uso general es como escritorio o servidor. Ambos usos se benefician más de un alto rendimiento que de un límite superior en el tiempo de respuesta.

RTLinux is a hard realtime RTOS microkernel that runs the entire Linux operating system as a fully preemptive process. It is one hard realtime variant of Linux, among several, that makes it possible to control robots, data acquisition systems, manufacturing plants, and other time-sensitive instruments and machines.
