Why Real-Time Systems Need a Real-Time Database
Status: Available NowHistorically, real-time systems and database systems have been like oil and water. The reason? Making an API call to a non-deterministic database system could cause a real-time task to exceed its deadline. Previously, real-time systems were not overly complex and could do without database support. Today, however, real-time systems’ tasks need to collect, aggregate, correlate and analyze data from disparate sources (sensor data fusion) and could benefit greatly from a shared repository. This MicroTalk will present a solution: adding time-cognizance to database transactions, and suitable transaction schedulers.
