Features: This book provides an in-depth yet accessible explanation of the framework and working principles of real-time systems, comprehensively reflecting the latest technological advancements and research findings in real-time system design. It begins by analyzing the tasks and task scheduling of real-time systems, then delves into the detailed discussion of system hardware and software design, as well as the use of programming languages. It also clarifies performance issues in real-time data storage and real-time communication, and finally analyzes fault-tolerant design, reliability evaluation techniques, and clock synchronization problems. At the end of each chapter, there are suggestions for further reading, exercises, and references. The book is well-structured, with a strong integration of theory and practice, supported by numerous examples and data charts. It is systematic, advanced, and practical. It can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in science and engineering disciplines studying real-time systems, as well as a reference for relevant technical professionals or for self-study.
1. Strong theoretical foundation. Many problems are formalized using mathematical language, with relevant formulas, definitions, theorems provided, along with derivations or proofs. The book compiles the achievements of the two authors from nearly 20 years of teaching and researching real-time systems, as well as many of the latest international research findings in the field.
2. Excellent readability. Each chapter illustrates design methods and performance evaluation methods for related real-time systems through numerous examples, analyzing various aspects of many advanced real-time systems. Therefore, the book is not only strong in theory but also highly practical, making it easy for readers to follow.
3. Focus on system design and performance evaluation. The entire book is organized around the main themes of real-time system design and performance evaluation methods, covering various design and evaluation techniques for real-time systems, as well as introducing several tools for real-time system design and evaluation. Learning these design methods and evaluation tools will be very helpful for researching and developing other real-time systems.
4. Integration of hardware and software. Most real-time systems are composed of both hardware and software. While the book separately explains the working principles, design methods, and performance analysis of hardware and software, it also provides insights into how software and hardware can be balanced when designing real-time systems.
