A recent announcement from Micro Digital explained how the company's smx real-time operating system can do precise profiling of code operations. “… smx v4.1 solves this problem by using the clock ...

On the lower end of the performance spectrum, many widely available and inexpensive microcontrollers pay for their small pc-board footprints by omitting functions. For example, most low-end processors ...

In a System-on Chip(SoC),a general interrupt process works as follows: Interrupt is triggered by a certain system event or interrupt source. Interrupt is detected by system’s peripheral module, which ...

When a WFI instruction is executed or when the processor enters sleep mode using the Sleep-On-Exit feature, the processor stops instruction execution and wakes up when an (higher priority) interrupt ...

Potentially substantial performance gains from the use of multithreading and multiprocessing architectures have captured the attention of designers of consumer devices and other electronic products.
