For example, in the event of a pattern of graphic or wireless drivers, these drivers can restart without violating the operation of running applications and network stack.
  • Added the ability to configure the end user prioritization of the scheduler to perform real-time programs. The user can provide priority execution of delays sensitive applications, such as making more priority programs for processing multimedia content than programs for calculations and virtualization.
