A topic that I find particularly interesting, which is raised by many embedded software developers whom I meet, is dynamic memory allocation – grabbing chunks of memory as and when you need them. This ...
Editor's Note: Embedded Systems Architecture, 2nd Edition, is a practical and technical guide to understanding the components that make up an embedded system’s architecture. Offering detailed ...
The Linux kernel Out of Memory (OOM) killer is not usually invoked on desktop and server computers, because those environments contain sufficient resident memory and swap space, making the OOM ...
Embedded systems such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices and single-board computers possess limited memory and processing power, necessitating the effective management of these constraints. This ...
Embedded systems demand high performance with minimal power consumption, and the optimisation of scratchpad memory (SPM) plays a critical role in meeting these stringent requirements. SPM, a small ...
The lightweight allocator demonstrates 53% faster execution times and requires 23% lower memory usage, while needing only 530 lines of code. Embedded systems such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices ...
To meet time-to-market and productivity pressures, embedded-system developers increasingly consider and use high-level design-software tools that provide more abstraction, simpler representations of ...
