What is the difference between hard and soft real-time systems?..

Answer / a.v.s.l.kalpana(avanthi engg c

A hard real time system guarantees that critical tasks
complete on time this goal reqires that all delays in the
system be bounded from the retrieval of the stored data to
the time that it takes the o.s to finish any request made
of it.
A soft real time system where a critical real time task
gets priority over other tasks and retains that priority
until it completes.As in hard real time system kernel
delays need to be bounded.

What is the difference between hard and soft real-time systems?..

Answer / empo

Hard Read System is a restrictive system responding to
critical real time tasks with in the deadline to avoid any
damage or casuse e.g Plane-Screen,AntiLock Braking System...

Soft Real System is less restrictive and it just have a
priority to other tasks and a delay might occur.Soft Real
Systems have their application where delay dont have any
connection with damage.e.g A.c,Microwave open...etc...

Soft RTOS using in Live telecasting, Flight updation...

If HRTOS meets any delay, system ill b destoryed.
Delay is d problem , but delay is possible in SRTOS.
