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, ...

Embedded communications systems must typically provide large-scale data processing services in addition to performing 'hard' real-time-critical functions. Digital signal processors (DSPs) are required ...

A fact of life in today's embedded systems is the increasingly distributed nature and complexity of the designs: multiple processor nodes on a network, multiple servers in a cluster, multiple ...
