Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a scenario with four tasks: A (Period = 3ms), B (Period = 5ms), C (Period = 8ms), and D (Period = 12ms). Calculate the CPU utilization and determine if RMS can guarantee all deadlines.
💡 Hint: Use the worst-case CPU utilization criteria for RMS.
A system has three tasks: X (20ms), Y (50ms), and Z (70ms). If each task needs to execute twice during a 100ms time frame, explain how RMS will handle them.
💡 Hint: Visualize the task execution slots.
