Abstract
A multitasking, graphical windowing operating system for an office machine supporting real time processing, including a method for supporting real time processing in the operating system. The operating system includes a kernel having a non-preemptive scheduler for scheduling windowing applications and a preemptive scheduler for scheduling real time applications. The kernel includes a messaging subsystem for communication among process in the system including both the real time and windowing applications, and further includes an event semaphore maintained by the kernel to manage scheduling. The method includes grouping windowing applications together for scheduling purposes and scheduling windowing applications non-preemptively. The method further includes determining priority of real time applications and scheduling real time applications preemptively with the windowing applications based on priority.
