A cluster based on 8 bit, flash based architecture microcontrollers

Abstract Distributed systems are a suitable alternative to optimize the current embedded technologies, since this kind of increase processing power execute tasks, which otherwise, would take plenty time finish with single core, likewise, larger amount electronic sensing devices can be added system, improving its capacity collect and analyze data whatsoever. In work, we propose use distributed theory, in 8 bit CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) microcontrollers, more particular, PIC16F887 from Microchip, have reduced limited architecture. By doing this, low-power system focused on performing multiple operations tasks is proposed, which, vital element, such as real operating systems, using hard-wired communication protocols accomplish correct distribution data. Using cluster instead microprocessor-based or core implies important advantages, considerable cost reduction, size flexibility install several applications, great possibility modify initial design functionality couple all needs user. Also, one objectives development, create an easily scalable depending given. The combination features mentioned, makes for educational purposes, simplicity ideal students topics regarding systems.
