Embedded Systems - High Performance Systems, Applications and Projects

Description

InTech, 2012. — 288 p. — ISBN 978-953-51-0350-9.Nowadays, embedded systems - computer systems that are embedded in various kinds of devices and play an important role of specific control functions, have permeated various scenes of industry. Therefore, we can hardly discuss our life or society from now on without referring to embedded systems. For wide-ranging embedded systems to continue their growth, a number of high-quality fundamental and applied researches are indispensable.This book addresses a wide spectrum of research topics of embedded systems, including parallel computing, communication architecture, application-specific systems, and embedded systems projects. The book consists of thirteen chapters. In Part 1, multiprocessor, multicore, network-on-chip, and communication architecture, which are key factors in high-performance embedded systems and will be further treated as important, are introduced by four chapters. Then, implementation examples of various embedded applications that can be good references for embedded system development, are dealt with in Part 2, through five chapters. In Part 3, four chapters present their projects where various profitable techniques can be found.Embedded systems are part of products that can be made only after fusing miscellaneous technologies together. I expect that various technologies condensed in this book as well as in the complementary book "Embedded Systems - Theory and Design Methodology", would be helpful to researchers and engineers around the world.Multiprocessor, Multicore, NoC, and Communication ArchitectureParallel Embedded Computing Architectures.
