Different tasks in an embedded system typically must share the same hardware and software resources or may rely on each other in order to function correctly. For these reasons, embedded OSs provide ...

A new breed of micropro-cessor based on very long instruction word (VLIW) technology is well suited for embedded systems. This is due to the fact that VLIW architectural simplicity is achieved at the ...

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 ...

McObject has released Version 3.0 of its eXtremeDB in-memory embedded database, for intelligent devices with support for NVRAM, task scheduling and remote access. One important enhancement to ...

Real-time scheduling of parallel tasks in multiprocessor systems is a critical field that underpins the reliability and efficiency of modern computing in applications ranging from embedded systems to ...

“To fully utilize homogeneous and/or heterogeneous multicore processors or systems-on-chip (SoCs), a programmer must develop software that splits a program into tasks that can be executed concurrently ...
