See the comparison of realtime operating systems for a comprehensive list. For scheduling arrival time and service time are also will play a role. The idea of batch scheduling is that there will be no change in the schedule during runtime. A realtime system is a timebound system which has welldefined, fixed time constraints. The work may be virtual computation elements such as threads, processes or data flows, which are in turn scheduled onto hardware resources such as processors, network links or expansion cards a scheduler is what carries out the scheduling activity.
The main task of cpu scheduling is to make sure that whenever the cpu remains idle, the os at least select one of the processes available in the ready queue for execution. Consider an example when two trains are coming toward each other on same track and. The os can view each core as a cpu, but can make additional.

The kernel can suspend and later resume a task many times during the task lifetime. The selection process will be carried out by the cpu.
Cpu scheduling is the process which allows one method to use the cpu while the execution of another process is on hold that is in waiting for the state due to unavailability of any resource like io etc. Realtime operating system rtos it used for desktop pc and laptop. A realtime operating system rtos is an operating system os intended to serve realtime. There are six popular process scheduling algorithms which we are going to discuss in the following section.
