EDF

EDF, or Earliest Deadline First, is a scheduling method used in computers and real-time systems to prioritize tasks. It assigns priority based on each task’s deadline; the sooner its deadline, the higher its priority. The system always executes the task closest to its deadline to ensure timely completion. EDF is efficient and helps guarantee that important tasks finish on time, making it ideal for systems requiring precise timing, like robotics or embedded devices. In essence, it dynamically organizes tasks to meet their deadlines by focusing on the most urgent ones first.
