// Do deterministic work...

: If you’re curious, grab the LITMUS^RT kernel (which implements resource partitioning) or look into the PikeOS hypervisor’s Linux guest partitioning.

In a traditional static partitioned system (common in ARINC 653-based avionics), each process or application gets a fixed block of memory. No sharing. No borrowing. This is safe but wasteful.

// Borrow from global pool (temporary) void *borrowed = genp_borrow(part, 256 * 1024, 100); // 100 ms timeout
