A technical paper titled “CV32RT: Enabling Fast Interrupt and Context Switching for RISC-V Microcontrollers” was published by researchers at ETH Zurich and University of Bologna. “Processors using the ...

The time it takes to service an interrupt. It becomes a critical factor when servicing real-time functions such as a communications line. See UART overrun. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY.

This paper will discuss design practices and guidelines that will maximize the efficiency of interrupts and interrupt handling in an embedded system IC. These practices can result in a smaller code ...

Performance is a topic that never strays far from the mind of most embedded systems developers. However, relatively speaking, many of us have it easy. We develop soft real-time systems in which a few ...

When do you need to use a real-time operating system (RTOS) for an embedded project? What does it bring to the table, and what are the costs? Fortunately there are strict technical definitions, which ...

Low-Power/High-Performance engineering sat down to discuss latency with Chris Rowen, CTO at Tensilica; Andrew Caples, senior product manager for Nucleus in Mentor Graphics’ Embedded Software Division; ...

In “Handler Migration and Direct Interrupt Scheduling,” Jupyung Lee and Kyu Ho Park of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology describe two techniques to minimize the scheduling latency ...
