The use of a real-time operating system (RTOS) or a bare-metal scheduler is a popular topic of debate among embedded system developers. The supporters of bare metal argue that they can use a ...

An increasing number of multi-threaded embedded applications want to leverage multicore designs. Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) RTOS provides automatic load balancing of multiple threads in a ...

This fifth lesson on RTOS finally addresses the real-time aspect of the “Real-Time Operating System” name. Specifically, in the video lesson 26, you add a preemptive, priority-based scheduler to the ...

The Blackfin DSP architecture from Analog Devices targets DSP and general-purpose applications where dual processor cores often are the only alternative. Meanwhile, Quadros' RTXC/dm dual-mode ...

You stare at the log output. It seems okay, and yet the bug is still hiding. Was Task A missing its deadline? You don’t know. Was a priority inversion quietly breaking the scheduler? Again, you don’t ...

A new technical paper titled “Balancing Power and Performance With Task Dependencies in Multi-Core Systems” was published by researchers at TU Dresden. “The increasing use of FPGAs necessitates energy ...
