As telecommunication technologies evolve there is an on-going drive for the development of high-performance systems for radio communications. Part of that evolution involves implementing components in ...

You can find real-time operating systems (RTOS) everywhere. They are as ubiquitous as their more familiar operating-system cousins – Windows, Mac OS and Unix – that control software applications and ...

In the design of real-time systems, time is critical. Rate-monotonic analysis can predict whether a system will meet its timing and throughput requirements, and interactive design tools make it easy ...

What just happened? Linux has long been the versatile open-source workhorse behind everything from web servers to Android phones. A significant milestone now enables the penguin mascot to showcase its ...

Semiconductor development is currently in one of its periodic crises, with many factors combining to require dramatically new technologies and methodologies. Chips continue to grow ever larger and ...

Why multicore interference makes WCET hard to bound — and why timing measurements alone aren’t enough. How to combine static, dynamic, and hardware analyses to build defensible WCET evidence. How to ...

Early concerns about Ethernet as an automation network included its lack of real-time capabilities. But several new approaches seek to overcome this limitation. One company making waves in the ...
