CSI 400 - Real Time Systems

With real time systems the result of a calculation is important, but also important is the time when the result is available. Students are exposed to the concept of real time programming in which a system operates in a time-scale that is determined by the time scale of the process. The system reacts to external events usually with a time constraint on the reaction time. Students learn how hardware and software interact, what an interrupt is, and how to develop an event driven system. The analysis of response time from input to output will be introduced along with memory optimization techniques.
