A unique feature of this open access textbook is to provide a comprehensive introduction to
the fundamental knowledge in embedded systems, with applications in cyber-physical …

In this research, we propose a highly predictable, low overhead, and, yet, dynamic, memory-
allocation strategy for embedded systems with scratch pad memory. A scratch pad is a fast …

Scratchpad memory is a popular choice for on-chip storage in real-time embedded systems.
The allocation of code/data to scratchpad memory is performed at compile time leading to …

This paper presents the first-ever compile-time method for allocating a portion of the heap
data to scratch-pad memory. A scratch-pad is a fast directly addressed compiler-managed …

Het ontwerp van nieuwe consumentenelektronica wordt voortdurend complexer omdat er
steeds meer functionaliteit in deze apparaten geintegreerd wordt. Een voorspelbaar …

This article presents the first memory allocation scheme for embedded systems having a
scratch-pad memory whose size is unknown at compile time. A scratch-pad memory (SPM) …

Alternate RF testing is a very promising candidate for replacing the costly standard
specification-based approach. The defect filter in the alternate test flow is a crucial …

Energy consumption is one of the important parameters to be optimized during the design of
portable embedded systems. Thus, most of the contemporary portable devices feature low …

Software-controlled scratchpad memory is increasingly employed in embedded systems as
it offers better timing predictability compared to caches. Previous scratchpad allocation …

Contemporary many-core architectures, such as Adapteva Epiphany and Sunway
TaihuLight, employ per-core software-controlled Scratchpad Memory (SPM) rather than …
