Real-Time Embedded Systems: Optimization, Synthesis, and Networking (Hardcover)

Ubiquitous in today’s consumer-driven society, embedded systems use microprocessors that are hidden in our everyday products and designed to perform specific tasks. Effective use of these embedded systems requires engineers to be proficient in all phases of this effort, from planning, design, and analysis to manufacturing and marketing.

Taking a systems-level approach, Real-Time Embedded Systems: Optimization, Synthesis, and Networking describes the field from three distinct aspects that make up the three major trends in current embedded system design.

The first section of the text examines optimization in real-time embedded systems. The authors present scheduling algorithms in multi-core embedded systems, instruct on a robust measurement against the inaccurate information that can exist in embedded systems, and discuss potential problems of heterogeneous optimization. The second section focuses on synthesis-level approaches for embedded systems, including a scheduling algorithm for phase change memory and scratch pad memory and a treatment of thermal-aware multiprocessor synthesis technology. The final section looks at networking with a focus on task scheduling in both a wireless sensor network and cloud computing. It examines the merging of networking and embedded systems and the resulting evolution of a new type of system known as the cyber physical system (CPS).

Encouraging readers to discover how the computer interacts with its environment, Real-Time Embedded Systems provides a sound introduction to the design, manufacturing, marketing, and future directions of this important tool.

在今天的消費者驅動社會中，嵌入式系統是使用微處理器隱藏在我們日常產品中並設計用於執行特定任務的技術。有效地使用這些嵌入式系統需要工程師在計劃、設計、分析、製造和市場營銷等各個階段都具備專業知識。

《即時嵌入式系統：優化、合成和網絡》以系統級的方法描述了當前嵌入式系統設計的三個主要趨勢。第一部分介紹了即時嵌入式系統中的優化技術。作者們介紹了多核嵌入式系統中的調度算法，教授了對嵌入式系統中可能存在的不準確信息進行可靠測量的方法，並討論了異構優化可能面臨的問題。第二部分聚焦於嵌入式系統的合成級方法，包括相變記憶體和快取記憶體的調度算法，以及熱感知多處理器合成技術的處理。最後一部分關注網絡技術，重點討論無線感測網絡和雲計算中的任務調度。它探討了網絡和嵌入式系統的融合，以及由此產生的新型系統——物理計算系統（CPS）的演變。

《即時嵌入式系統》鼓勵讀者發現計算機如何與其環境互動，提供了對這一重要工具的設計、製造、市場營銷和未來發展方向的全面介紹。
