Parallel Memory Architecture for Memory Allocation in Embedded Systems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781835800140)

In our daily lives, embedded systems have become an essential part of our lives. It can be

a mobile phone, a smartcard, a music player, a router or any other electronic device that is

rapidly changing our lives. An embedded system is defined as a group of several devices

or parts, such as computer software, hardware, and extra mechanical components, intended

to accomplish a specific function on the fly on a time-based basis. For that, the real-time

operating system (RTOS) becomes the foundation of embedded systems 1. These RTOSs

are lacking in memory and processing power. For this reason, memory management is

essential and has been a topic of research since the inception of RTOSs. An RTOS is a type

of operating system that supports real-time applications by providing an accurate result

within a specified time frame. This time duration is called the "deadline".
