### Task Management and Scheduling

In the world of embedded systems, the management and scheduling of tasks are crucial for effective real-time responses.
Where schedulers for general-purpose systems are often designed to maximize throughput, those in real-time are engineered to provide guarantees on the timing of task execution.
Where schedulers for general-purpose systems are often designed to maximize throughput, those in real-time systems are engineered to provide guarantees on the timing of task execution.
This can be achieved through techniques such as static scheduling, where tasks are assigned fixed time slots in a recurring schedule based on their worst case execution time and how frequently they run.

For example, in medical devices such as pacemakers, the punctual delivery of electrical impulses is a crucial task, and the scheduler must guarantee its correct and timely execution to ensure patient safety. This level of refined scheduling and task management sets embedded systems apart from the more adaptable but less deterministic scheduling seen in general-purpose systems.
