Rate Monotonic Scheduling

Rate Monotonic Scheduling (RMS) is a method used in real-time systems to prioritize tasks based on their frequency. Tasks with shorter periods (more frequent) are assigned higher priority, ensuring that critical tasks meet their deadlines. The system always runs the highest-priority task available, which helps manage multiple tasks efficiently. RMS is predictable and works well when task execution times are known and consistent, making it suitable for applications like embedded systems in appliances, vehicles, or industrial controls where timely responses are essential.
