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 ...

Computer systems with a primary function to fulfill tasks on time are called Real-time systems. All of the tasks in these systems have parameters that include arrival time, execution time, deadline, ...

A technical paper titled “Enabling HW-based Task Scheduling in Large Multicore Architectures” was published by researchers at Barcelona Supercomputing Center, University of Campinas, University of Sao ...

With the explosive growth of terminal devices, scheduling massive parallel task streams has become a core challenge for distributed platforms. For computing resource providers, enhancing reliability, ...

In previous articles, we have looked at the multi-tasking model and we have seen that each task is a quasi-independent program. Although tasks in an embedded application have a degree of independence, ...

A look at the current state of affairs suggests that domain experts and high-level-system architects—as opposed to coders and processor experts—have gained significant ability to participate ...

The rule of thumb in embedded system design has been that addinghardware increases power demands. The careful use of hardwareaccelerators, however, inverts the rule: adding hardware can reducepower.
