Not only medical or space. Just a question of shortest response times. Which
depends upon the HW generation. When doing RT-systems on old 16/32-bit
systems this was in the range of (fractions of) microseconds. Because of
instruction execution times. Which should be shorter nowadays.
Besides, such things like "multi-threading, position independent code,
reentrant code, spin locks, semaphores, manipulation of mapping registers
etc." we had to do ourselves for RT-apps. In asssembler, of course. So, all
these functions are a very old "piece of cake", which finally found its path
into common programming practices :-)
