RTOS: A new approach in design and organization of high-speed power control applications

Abstract

Real Time kernel has gained popularity over the years in designing advance software control algorithms coupled on powerful embedded processor cores. This paper discusses the importance of RTOS over generic OS, the pros and cons of using RTOS for microcontroller system development, and the benchmarking methods used for RTOS. Industries most advance RTOS are selected for performance benchmarking over different high-end microcontroller platform to fulfill the requirement of both control and connectivity imposed by digital high-speed power control applications. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
