Concurrent Programming Method for Embedded Systems

The task of programming concurrent systems is substantially more difficult than the task of programming sequential systems with respect to both correctness and efficiency. The tendency in development of embedded hardware and processors are shifting to multi core and multiprocessor setups as well. This means that the problem of easy concurrency is an important problem for embedded systems as well. There are numerous solutions for the problem of concurrency, but not with embedded systems in mind. Due to the constrains of embedded hardware and use cases of embedded systems, specific concurrency solutions are required. In this paper we present a solution which is targeted for embedded systems and builds on existing concurrency algorithms and solutions. The presented method emphasizes on the development and design of concurrent software. In the design of the presented method human factor was taken into consideration as the major influential fact in the successful development of concurrent applications.
