Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a scenario where a real-time operating system implements both scheduling techniques. Describe how priority inversion could impact task scheduling in both cases.

💡 Hint: Analyze how task manipulation affects responsiveness in real-time systems.

Question 2

Develop a scheduling strategy for a system that must balance responsiveness with low overhead. Discuss your approach for utilizing both preemptive and non-preemptive scheduling.

💡 Hint: Think about which tasks benefit from quick responses versus those that can afford delays.
