A hard real-time operating system (RTOS) has less jitter than a soft real-time operating system.
- Jitter refers to the variation in response time from one instance to another.
- A hard RTOS is designed for systems where missing deadlines can have catastrophic consequences, such as in medical equipment or flight control systems. To ensure this, they have strict timing requirements and minimal jitter.
- In contrast, soft RTOS can tolerate some variation in response time without severe consequences.
Therefore, hard RTOS have a much lower tolerance for jitter compared to soft RTOS.
