Adapted from “Embedded Systems Architecture, 2nd Edition” by Tammy Noergaard (Newnes) 9.2.3 Intertask Communication and Synchronization Different tasks in an embedded system typically must share the ...

Measurement and automation systems involving multiple devices often require accurate timing in order to facilitate event synchronization and data correlation. For example, an industrial automation ...

This two-part series addresses the use and misuse of two of the most essential synchronization primitives in modern embedded systems, the mutex (this part) and the semaphore (part 2). Mutexes and ...

This RTOS also offers synchronization and communication primitives in a seamless fashion to support multiprocessor systems. It comes with an extensive collection of key design features that includes ...

Real-time scheduling: The process of organising task execution in systems where meeting strict timing constraints is critical to the functionality of the system.

Cross- industry standards body, the Multicore Association has announced the availability of its Multicore Task Management Application Program Interface (MTAPI) that supports the coordination of tasks ...
