Latency types

* Interrupt Latency(Time from IRQ occurs to ISR executed)
    
* Scheduling Latency(Time from after ISR execution to resume regular schedule called context switching operation)

	RTOS	GPOS
Where to use	Timing critical applications(i.e. airbag deployment after the crash, VxWorks, FreeRTOS)	Desktop and server applications(i.e. Windows, Linux, iOS)
Task switching Latency and Response time	Almost constant(deterministic)	Big deviation(non-deterministic)
Scheduling	Time-based scheduling, the high-priority task is executed over low-priority tasks	Process-based scheduling, optimized for throughput.
