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:
“... the modern drama, operating through the double channel of dramatist and interpreter, affecting as it does both mind and heart, is the strongest force in developing social discontent, swelling the powerful tide of unrest that sweeps onward and over the dam of ignorance, prejudice, and superstition.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
