Doubly linked list
"If there are never more than a few tasks on the ready list, then a doubly linked list of ready tasks is likely optimal."

This has a qualifier (and priority queue an alternative), but isn't still dubious? This may be what was done, but do you really have to ask or dig into the source code of an RTOS to really see if it is real-time? I guess in most cases you know that there is only a few processes (not one, why would have on OS then..?), but in general the point of an RTOS is that it is real-time even when things are not as planned? For a regular OS, like Linux, is this even done any more? At least caches are known to be bad for linked lists, for OS or otherwise.

Maybe doubly linked is done, I'm not sure that is needed (or space) optimal.. comp.arch (talk) 14:14, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
