As we turn the page to 2025, it’s impossible not to reflect on the transformative trends of 2024. From the growing influence of AI to the rise of modern languages like Rust and the increasing focus on ...

Embedded system developers have a wide range of operating systems available to them today. Of course, the most straightforward operating system is to have no operating system! However, many systems ...

Why multicore interference makes WCET hard to bound — and why timing measurements alone aren’t enough. How to combine static, dynamic, and hardware analyses to build defensible WCET evidence. How to ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

When you combine all these benefits, you’ll find that you can write more-secure and higher-quality software. While embedded developers might hesitate to learn Rust, it’s often called a “zero-cost ...

The actual definition of real-time database versus the abused interpretation used by marketers of real fast database systems. The interplay of transient and persistent memory, and hard and soft ...
