For example, software embedded in life-support systems used to +monitor hospital patients must take instant action if a change in the patient’s +status is detected. + +The component of RTEMS responsible for providing this capability is +appropriately called the scheduler. The scheduler’s sole purpose is to allocate +the all important resource of processor time to the various tasks competing for +attention. The directives provided by the Scheduler Manager are: + +* :ref:`InterfaceRtemsSchedulerIdent` - Identifies a scheduler by the object + name. + +* :ref:`InterfaceRtemsSchedulerIdentByProcessor` - Identifies a scheduler by + the processor index. + +* :ref:`InterfaceRtemsSchedulerIdentByProcessorSet` - Identifies a scheduler by + the processor set. + +* :ref:`InterfaceRtemsSchedulerGetMaximumPriority` - Gets the maximum task + priority of the scheduler. + +* :ref:`InterfaceRtemsSchedulerMapPriorityToPosix` - Maps a Classic API task + priority to the corresponding POSIX thread priority. + +* :ref:`InterfaceRtemsSchedulerMapPriorityFromPosix` - Maps a POSIX thread + priority to the corresponding Classic API task priority. + +* :ref:`InterfaceRtemsSchedulerGetProcessor` - Returns the index of the current + processor. + +* :ref:`InterfaceRtemsSchedulerGetProcessorMaximum` - Returns the processor + maximum supported by the system. + +* :ref:`InterfaceRtemsSchedulerGetProcessorSet` - Gets the set of processors + owned by the scheduler. + +* :ref:`InterfaceRtemsSchedulerAddProcessor` - Adds the processor to the set of + processors owned by the scheduler. + +* :ref:`InterfaceRtemsSchedulerRemoveProcessor` - Removes the processor from + the set of processors owned by the scheduler. |
