Subtract software costs by adding CPUs by Jack G. Ganssle The best way to get a project done on time is to break it into smaller, more manageable chunks. That theory works better than some programmers suspect, extending even into multiprocessing systems. Jack Ganssle shows how breaking one big program into smaller programs that each run on their own processor can work wonders on performance, schedules, and sanity.
How to analyze processor features for network use by Markus Levy EEMBC benchmarks may help you analyze and decide which processor to use in your network application. This article explains various benchmarks and how you can interpret their results. It also shows an example.
ESP Research Survey says: software tools more important than chips by Jim Turley Each year Embedded Systems Programming conducts a large-scale survey of embedded systems developers around the world. Starting with this issue we'll be publishing the results of the survey in installments. This month's installment reveals how engineers, programmers, developers, and managers choose a microprocessor. In future issues we'll cover some surprising data about operating systems, popular vendors, programming languages, schedules, budgets, and more.
Programming Pointers Sizing and aligning device registers by Dan Saks Modeling memory-mapped device registers is easy in concept but can be tricky in practice.
