The proliferation of multicore processors has done more than provide a boost in processing power to server applications. Multicore chips also pose the opportunity to revolutionize how embedded systems ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...

As more complex devices with higher levels of integration are inserted into real-time systems, traditional testing methods are becoming obsolete. The most difficult obstacle to thorough testing of ...

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PX5, a global leader in high-performance real-time operating systems and middleware, today announced hard real-time Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) and Symmetric ...

Medical device companies, especially those with real-time embedded-system products, are often burdened with lengthy verification cycles. Even small development efforts can result in months of ...

With the advent of multithreaded/multicore CPUs, even embedded real-time applications are starting to run on SMP systems—for example, both the Xbox 360 and PS/3 are multithreaded, and there even have ...

Real-time systems and embedded computing have become foundational to modern engineering, underpinning applications from industrial automation and automotive control to aerospace and telecommunications ...

The actual definition of real-time database versus the abused interpretation used by marketers of real fast database systems. The interplay of transient and persistent memory, and hard and soft ...

You can find real-time operating systems (RTOS) everywhere. They are as ubiquitous as their more familiar operating-system cousins – Windows, Mac OS and Unix – that control software applications and ...

Designing an embedded system with security in mind has become necessary for many industries. The drive to connect a device to the internet allows remote attacks on the system. Developers who want to ...
