Leveraging the OS CPU Scheduler to Write Real-Time Multithreaded Applications

Explore the power of the Linux operating system in this comprehensive tutorial focused on leveraging the kernel scheduler for writing soft real-time multithreaded applications in C. Delve into the fundamentals of real-time computing, understand the state machine of Linux processes and threads, and gain an overview of POSIX scheduling policies. Learn how to utilize Pthread and system call APIs to query and set CPU scheduling policy and priority at a per-thread level. Discover the Linux Foundation Real-Time Linux (RTL) kernel, including how to apply patches, configure for real-time operations, and deploy it for use with appropriately written RT applications. Witness a live demonstration of a multithreaded application and participate in a Q&A session to solidify your understanding of using Linux as a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS).
