Abstract
The software architecture of embedded systems is heavily influenced by limitations of the underlying hardware. Additionally, real-time requirements constrain the design of applications. On the other hand, embedded systems implement specific functionalities and hence give the designer the opportunity to optimize the system despite of limitations. Multicore systems compromise the predictability of real-time requirements. Again, with the knowledge of the application the software design can benefit from the multicore architecture. This paper discusses how to decide on software design based on use-cases and shows new avenues how to efficiently implement the design with an example.
