In the real-time OS, several tasks may simultaneously request to be executed. In such a case, it is necessary to 
determine which task the system should execute first. To properly handle this kind of situation, the system or-
ganizes the tasks into proper execution priority and starts execution with a task having the highest priority. To 
complete task execution quickly, tasks related to processing operations that need to be performed immediately 
should be given higher priorities. 

The MR308 permits giving the same priority to several tasks. To provide proper control over the READY task 
execution order, the system generates a task execution queue called "ready queue." The ready queue structure 
is shown in Figure 3.14

  The ready queue is provided and controlled for each priority level. The first task in the 

ready queue having the highest priority is placed in the RUNNING state.
