Embedded software applications face many challenges that are not present on desktop computers. A device with a dedicated function is not generally regarded as a computer, even if a significant part of ...

Back when I was deep into building embedded control systems (and snow was always 20 feet deep and going to and from school was up hill both ways), the use of dynamic memory allocation was forbidden.

Embedded systems demand high performance with minimal power consumption, and the optimisation of scratchpad memory (SPM) plays a critical role in meeting these stringent requirements. SPM, a small ...

LWMalloc can benefit any embedded or IoT system that operates under strict memory and performance constraints. These include consumer electronics, such as smart TVs, set-top boxes, home appliances, ...

In “Memory Allocation Strategies for Real Time Operating System in Context with Embedded Devices,” Dipti Diwase, Shraddha Shah, Tushar Diwase, and Priya at the G.H.Raisoni College of Engineering ...

A new class of IP is emerging to address many of the challenges in manufacturing today�s complex SOC devices. Every new generation of semiconductor technology delivers the advantage of higher levels ...

Anticipating bugs properly is half the battle. If you use all of the tools at your disposal, you might even win the war. Academics who study software engineering have accumulated an impressive number ...

The once-dominant handset maker BlackBerry is busy squashing BadAlloc bugs in its QNX real-time operating system used in cars in medical devices. The potential danger from a raft of memory-allocation ...

Today’s sophisticated vehicles leverage embedded systems for everything from infotainment to powertrain management. Even low-end automobiles incorporate scores of electronic control units (ECUs). By ...

Microsoft today disclosed more than 25 critical memory allocation vulnerabilities in Internet of Things (IoT) and operational technology (OT) devices that could enable an attacker to bypass security ...

The lightweight allocator demonstrates 53% faster execution times and requires 23% lower memory usage, while needing only 530 lines of code. Embedded systems such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices ...
