A software platform facilitates autonomous vehicle design by capturing, fusing, and managing raw data in real time from a wide range of sensing modalities, including radar, LIDAR, vision and other sensors. Called the DRS360 platform, the software from the Siemens business unit Mentor Graphics is said to reduce latency, boost sensing accuracy, and improve overall […]

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 […]
