RTMOS (Real-Time Multiprogramming Operating System) is an operating system that supports both real-time computing and multiprogramming. Multiprogramming operating systems are now considered obsolete, having been replaced by multitasking and sometimes the term is being wrongly used for multitasking which adds to the confusion.
Today RTMOS generally means an event-driven real-time operating system.
Famous quotes containing the word operating:
“Go on then in doing with your pen what in other times was done with the sword; shew that reformation is more practicable by operating on the mind than on the body of man.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
