This paper will discuss design practices and guidelines that will maximize the efficiency of interrupts and interrupt handling in an embedded system IC. These practices can result in a smaller code ...

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 ...

Nearly every embedded system uses interrupt service routines (ISRs). If you need to keep track of time, you likely have a timer interrupt that generates a system tick. If you have a USART, you’re ...

LONDON — MIPS Technologies Inc. will present a series of enhancements to the basic MIPS32/MIPS64 instruction set architecture at this week's Microprocessor Forum in San Jose, Calif. Changes in such ...

Hard real-time Linux has been around for ages, or it may never appear. It all depends on who you talk to. It also depends on your requirements. A two-second interrupt latency may be acceptable for ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized many industries, enabling applications that seemed unlikely just a few years ago. At the same time, the exponential growth of data and the need for real ...

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 ...

Opinions expressed by Digital Journal contributors are their own. The telecommunications industry is one of the most dramatically transformed industries in contemporary history, principally due to ...
