Shared cache partitioning is a well-known technique used in multicore real-time systems to isolate task workloads and improve system predictability. Presently, the state-of-the-art studies that evaluate shared cache partitioning on multicore processors lack two key issues. First, the cache partitioning mechanism is typically implemented either in a simulation environment or in a general-purpose OS, and ...

CAN (Controller Area Network) bus system is widely used in cars, for communicating sensors and actuators. FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chips are becoming widespread, being employed also in industrial and automotive fields. The embedded systems development process gets more complex with the use of programmable hardware, as FPGAs; in this process the design must ...

Embedded software often needs to be ported from one system to another. This may happen for a number of reasons among which are the needs for using less expensive hardware or the need for extra resources. Application portability can be achieved through an architecture-independent software/hardware interface. This is not a straight-forward task in the realm ...
