System-on-chip (SoC) designers face a difficult trade-off. On the one hand, they must deal with ever-increasing constraints on system costs and power consumption. On the other, they are being asked to ...

Compelling low-power and higher-performance embedded systems can now be realized by leveraging the advanced architecture and managed power characteristics of the IA-32 based Intel® Atom™ Processor.

Potentially substantial performance gains from the use of multithreading and multiprocessing architectures have captured the attention of designers of consumer devices and other electronic products.

The real change now affecting the embedded market is that the application software is also being asked to view the general purpose processor element using a multiprocessing paradigm so that this ...

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 ...

Is multithreading better than multi-core? Is multi-core better thanmultithreading? One might as well ask whether a diesel engine is betterthan four-wheel drive! The best vehicle for a given ...

Embedded Systems Conference, San Jose, CA, April 4, 2006 - MIPS Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIPS), and Green Hills Software, Inc., today announced that Green Hills Software's comprehensive set of ...

Zephyr is a scalable, real-time operating system (RTOS) for microcontroller-based embedded systems. It’s an open-source project hosted by the Linux Foundation, backed by a broad ecosystem of silicon ...
