What is a mission critical system ?..

Answer / sravan reddy

mission critical system is a hard real time system. failure
of some tasks lead to a disaster or catastrophic results occur.
mission critical systems are/must be time specific and more
deterministic and predictable,every task has a critical time
associated and must be completed within that time..
there is a watch dog timer in a real time system which
estimates the time for every task being executed.
when the task is not completed within that time they are
forcefully removed out of running state..

What is a mission critical system ?..

Answer / kwrtos

Besides its life/death or make/break ingredients of
operational procedures or processes, that is what the most
mission critical systems have themselves labeled, a mission
critical system is the system that has to acomplish certain
critical tasks within a predefined duration of time and/or a
predefined frame of benchmarks. The time constraint and the
benchmarks are the integral part of the mission. Without the
meeting such those constraints, the consequence of failure
often thoroughly defeats the purpose of the entire system.

I have been working on one thread which manage and control a couple of circular buffers. It has api for other thread to access. As the thread grows bigger and bigger, I split it as 3 to 4 threads which need to share common buffers, and also their api could be used by other threads, (not these three threads). Inside api, I also allow other threads to access these three threads' common buffers(more than one buffer). SO I have to use mutex to avoid race condition . But I found mutex will be everwhere in all the threads when they update the common buffer. I am wondering whether I could reduce mutex usage(more mutex will hure my system performance). any ideas for how to reduce mutex usage meanwhile to avoid race condition. Thanks
