SEOS: Hardware Implementation of Real-Time Operating System for Adaptability

Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is widely used in real time embedded system for computing resource management. It is commonly implemented as fundamental layer in software framework. However, RTOS inevitably causes extra overhead and latency to the system. One of the innovative approaches to improv...
