- Hi,
-
-
- I am looking for some references on the characterization of embedded
- systems, preferably on hard- and software. Are there any introductory books ?
- Questions I have are:
- - Can I use normal benchmarks (SPECMARK, Dhrystone etc.) to get some performance
- figures for embedded hardware"
- - How do embedded applications differ from other applications, branching freq.,
- data / instr. referencing, register usage (do they differ ?)
- - What are common techniques for interfacing
- - How do real-time systems and embedded systems relate (are all embedded systems
- real-time) ?
- etc. etc.
- I want to get some information on the main differences between the workstation
- world and the embedded world.
-
- Greetings,
- Sjaak Koot.
