Is this system schedulable?

Voice runs every 5 ms. 1/0.005 = 200 times/second. Video runs at 25 frames/second. = 25 times/second Voice needs 1 ms each time it's run = 200 ms/second. Video needs 20 ms each time it's run = 25*0.020 = 500 ms 2 voice tasks + 1 video task = 200ms*2 + 500ms = 900ms How one wants an RTOS to schedule such tasks depends among other things on how much jitter you can live with for the different tasks . e.g. the 2 voice tasks could have equal priority, but higher than than the video task - allowing the voice tasks to run whenever they need in a fifo order. (meaning one voice task might need to wait at most 1ms to be scheduled), and the video task gets the remaining CPU time 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
