Examples

After the recent earthquakes in Indonesia, the terrestrial and mobile networks stopped working and ‘Visual Situational Images’, required for the assessment of the damage and time-critical decision making, could not be shared. Source: Internet

The interrupts had to be prioritized, because the CPU can only execute code for one peripheral at a time, and some devices are more time-critical than others. Source: Internet

The scheduler gives the highest priority to jobs with the lowest demand on the computer, so there is no way to ensure that a time-critical job will have access to enough resources. Source: Internet

This allows software to manage latency by giving time-critical interrupts higher priority (and thus lower and more predictable latency) than less-critical ones. Source: Internet

The incident response plan addresses these and other time-critical activities following the onset of an incident. Source: Internet
