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

Answer Posted / vikramaditya

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.
