RTOS?

I am developing an FPGA application which works in series with a main
processor which is running an RTOS(VxWorks). Since my inputs and
outputs are to and from that processor, should i be using any RTOS?

Kindly clarify. thanks in advance.

That depends on factors besides the FPGA.  A possible impact is the 
maximum latency to service an I/O request, which an RTOS could make 
better or worse.

Only the person who is writing the application code can decided
whether it would benefit from using an RTOS. So you tell us,
will you benefit from an RTOS?
