Reduce preemption overhead in real-time embedded systems
by John A. Carbone Real-time embedded systems are expected to perform with predictable, real-time responsiveness. But in some cases, the functionality that enables that responsiveness can actually bloat the system and challenge its ability to perform as needed. With preemption-threshold scheduling, developers can reduce preemption overhead, while still enabling applications to meet real-time deadlines. The […]
