Real-Time Embedded Systems: What Are They and Why Do We Need Them?
Have you ever thought about what stands behind embedded devices’ capability to react to external conditions instantly? Why do the lights in a smart home turn on within a second, reacting to movement, or why does resuscitation equipment turn on within milliseconds, reacting to respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, or other changes of patients’ health conditions?
The magic behind the reactive response of such devices is real-time computing. This article provides a deep look into real-time embedded systems, including their classification, design patterns and application examples.
The medical industry’s future will depend on real-time embedded systems, I’m sure. We should make more efforts to the development…
