TinyOS Preemptive Scheduler

TinyOS Preemptive Scheduler

Responsible:

  • Cormac Duffy

The MISL research lab at UCC & InfoLab21 at Lancaster University have developed a new scheduler for TinyOS-2.x.

The goal of this new scheduler is to allow the operating system to react more quickly to important real-time events. By adding task preemption the new scheduler is capable of *interrupting* non-critical tasks and begin processing tasks of greater priority immediately.

The TinyOS preemptive scheduler will allow application developers to design and implement more responsive applications for critical systems and emergency services. see the TinyOS news posting
