An Embedded Operating System (EOS) is an operating system designed specifically for embedded computer systems. These systems aim to enhance functionality and reliability to perform dedicated tasks. [1] When the multitasking method employed allows for timely task execution, such an OS may qualify as a real-time operating system (RTOS).
Bash, short for Bourne-Again SHell, is a shell program and command language supported by the Free Software Foundation [ 2] and first developed for the GNU Project [ 3] by Brian Fox. [ 4] Designed as a 100% [ 5] free software alternative for the Bourne shell, [ 6][ 7][ 8] it was initially released in 1989. [ 9]
Batch processing. Computerized batch processing is a method of running software programs called jobs in batches automatically. While users are required to submit the jobs, no other interaction by the user is required to process the batch. Batches may automatically be run at scheduled times as well as being run contingent on the availability of ...
The Compatible Time-Sharing System ( CTSS) was the first general purpose time-sharing operating system. [2] [3] Compatible Time Sharing referred to time sharing which was compatible with batch processing; it could offer both time sharing and batch processing concurrently. CTSS was developed at the MIT Computation Center ("Comp Center").
Multilevel feedback queue. In computer science, a multilevel feedback queue is a scheduling algorithm. Scheduling algorithms are designed to have some process running at all times to keep the central processing unit (CPU) busy. [1] The multilevel feedback queue extends standard algorithms with the following design requirements:
Benchmark (computing) A graphical demo running as a benchmark of the OGRE engine. In computing, a benchmark is the act of running a computer program, a set of programs, or other operations, in order to assess the relative performance of an object, normally by running a number of standard tests and trials against it. [1]
Real-time computing ( RTC) is the computer science term for hardware and software systems subject to a "real-time constraint", for example from event to system response. [1] Real-time programs must guarantee response within specified time constraints, often referred to as "deadlines". [2]
Concurrent computing. Concurrent computing is a form of computing in which several computations are executed concurrently —during overlapping time periods—instead of sequentially— with one completing before the next starts. This is a property of a system—whether a program, computer, or a network —where there is a separate execution ...
