Abstract

Pulse is a minimal, deterministic scheduler for periodic tasks on resource-constrained microcontrollers. It is designed with a strong emphasis on analyzability, predictability, and safety-oriented software practices, making it well suited for PocketQube and CubeSat flight software as well as other deeply embedded systems.
