Everyone uses their computers and iphones to operate various APP functions and software every day, so what enables our small devices to perform so many tasks?
The purpose of GPOS system
of course, the operating system! It is working hard to schedule these tasks, assign the order of their appearance , or determine the time of their appearance to ensure the stability of their operation. In fact, the principles of computer operating systems and mobile operating systems are similar. The main task is to achieve perfect interaction between humans and machines. We call this type of operating system "GPOS".
What is the difference between RTOS and GPOS?
• The advantage of GPOS is that it can implement rich functions and services. When it wants to schedule multiple tasks, it needs to prioritize these tasks. Of course, these tasks cannot be executed smoothly as required, and there may be some delays.
• Of course, these slight delays are difficult to detect, so the small shortcomings of GPOS are acceptable in consumer devices, but when it is used in aerospace or medical equipment, small delay errors may cause problems. lead to disastrous consequences. So then another operating system, RTOS, is needed, which can strictly control latency. If you are building a real-time system that requires precise timing and deterministic behavior, RTOS may be a better choice.

What can you do with these systems?
• If you are building a general system that needs to support multiple tasks and users, GPOS is more suitable for you. The aforementioned GPOS may not be suitable for car driving control safety systems, but it is suitable for car entertainment interface interaction systems. Understanding the difference between RTOS and GPOS can help you make the right decision for your project.
• The development paths of the two systems are also moving closer to each other. For example, GPOS wants to reduce delays, high synchronization, and enhance security, while RTOS adds high-function-rich capabilities and compatibility. They can each make up for their own shortcomings.
