Programming specialized network processors (NPU) is inherently difficult. Unlike mainstream processors where architectural features such as out-of-order execution and caches hide ...
The last decade has witnessed the emergence of the Application Specific Instruction-set Processor (ASIP) as a viable platform for embedded systems. Extensible ASIPs allow the user...
For memory constrained environments like embedded systems, optimization for program size is often as important, if not more important, as optimization for execution speed. Commonl...
Complex embedded systems have always been heterogeneous multicore systems. Because of the tight constraints on power, performance and cost, this situation is not likely to change a...
Unit testing is a methodology for testing small parts of an application independently of whatever application uses them. It is time consuming and tedious to write unit tests, and ...
