Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a real-time system with three tasks of varying priorities. Explain how priority inheritance would work if the highest-priority task needs a resource held by the lowest-priority task.

💡 Hint: Visualize the task hierarchy and resource management.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate the potential trade-offs between using priority inheritance versus the priority ceiling protocol in a heavily loaded real-time system.

💡 Hint: Consider performance impacts of each approach.
