Not long ago, most industrial control systems had modest software requirements — typically, a few thousand source lines of code. Today, however, an embedded control system may contain hundreds of ...

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 ...

Sporadic events are the bugaboo of many real-time systems. Finding a way to manage aperiodic behavior can spell the difference between system failure and system success. This article presents the ...

Most real-time operating systems are based on static priorityscheduling. But how can systems be truly real time withoutan awareness of deadlines? I have not yet used a deadline scheduler or ...
