Editor's Note: Embedded Systems Architecture, 2nd Edition, is a practical and technical guide to understanding the components that make up an embedded system’s architecture. Offering detailed ...

CPU is a primary computer resource. So, its scheduling is central to operating system design. To improve both utilization and the speed of CPU the authors need to keep several processes in memory at a ...

Most computer operating systems must multi-task. They use a scheduling algorithm that decides which of the many processes can be run at any given time. It puts some jobs aside while others go through, ...

Batch process scheduling and optimisation is a critical area of research that addresses the timing, sequencing, and allocation of production tasks in industries where manufacturing is carried out in ...

The ability in Linux to bind one or more processes to one or more processors, called CPU affinity, is a long-requested feature. The idea is to say “always run this process on processor one” or “run ...

For developers, threading is an important issue that impacts game performance. Here's how task scheduling works in Apple Silicon games. Demands on GPU and CPUs are some of the most compute-intensive ...
