Ket : <p>One of the earliest decision points in embedded systems design is whether the system will require real-time computing capabilities. Real-time computing describes the ability to react to inputs and deliver the prescribed output within a constrained time frame. Devices that use real-time computing are deployed in applications where their correct functioning can make the difference between life and death.</p><p><span>As an example, consider the airbag in a conventional family sedan. When the vehicle stops abruptly in the case of a collision, the airbag must be deployed in a split second to be effective for passengers. This means that the embedded microcontroller which controls the airbags must detect that a collision is happening and electronically trigger the release of vehicle airbags - all in just a fraction of a second. This capability is made possible by the technology of real-time computing.</span></p>
