A hybrid scheduling algorithm neither fully preemptive or fully cooperative is created by configuring the kernel for cooperative scheduling, then performing context switching from within event interrupt service routines. The interrupt service routine isr itself should be written to be as short as it possibly can be it just grabs the data then wakes the high priority handler task. A timer interrupt the rtos tick interrupt increments the tick count with strict temporal accuracy allowing the real time kernel to measure time to a resolution of the chosen timer interrupt.
