6. Resource Allocation in Real-Time and Embedded Systems

Efficient resource allocation is crucial for real-time and embedded systems, which often operate under constraints of limited processing power and stringent timing requirements. Strategies like Rate Monotonic Scheduling and Earliest Deadline First are vital for optimizing CPU time allocation. Key challenges include preventing deadlocks and managing power effectively to ensure system performance and reliability.
