 ABSTRACT

Embedded Systems Consist of Interacting Components That Are Required to Deliver a Specific
Functionality Under Constraints on Execution Rates and Relative Time Separation of The
Components. In This Article, We Model an Embedded System Using Concurrent Processes
Interacting Through Synchronization. We Assume That There Are Rate Constraints on The
Execution Rates of Processes Imposed by The Designer or The Environment of The System,
Where the Execution Rate of a Process Is the Number of Its Executions Per Unit Time. We Address
the Problem of Computing Bounds on The Execution Rates of Processes Constituting an
Embedded System, And Propose an Interactive Rate Analysis Framework. As Part of The Rate
Analysis Framework, We Present an Efficient Algorithm for Checking the Consistency of The
Rate Constraints. Bounds On the Execution Rate of Each Process Are Computed Using an Efficient
Algorithm Based on The Relationship Between the Execution Rate of a Process and The Maximum
Mean Delay Cycles In The Process Graph. Finally, If the Computed Rates Violate Some Of The
Rate Constraints, Some Of The Processes In The System Are Redesigned Using Information From
The Rate Analysis Step. This Rate Analysis Framework Is Implemented in A Tool Called RATAN.
We Illustrate by An Example How RATAN Can Be Used In An Embedded System Design.
Categories And Subject Descriptors: C.4 [Computer Systems Organization]: Performance Of
Systems-Modeling Techniques; Performance Attributes
General Terms: Algorithms, Design, Performance, Theory
Additional Key Words And Phrases: Average Execution Rate, Concurrent System

9.INTERNSHIP LEARNINGS

During my internship, I had the opportunity to delve into the fascinating

world of embedded systems. This hands-on experience provided me with
a comprehensive understanding of how hardware and software interact
to create efficient and reliable systems. I learned to design, develop, and
test embedded applications, gaining proficiency in various
microcontrollers and programming languages such as C and Python. The
internship also exposed me to real-world challenges and problem-solving
techniques, enhancing my skills in debugging and optimizing embedded
systems. Overall, this experience was invaluable in bridging the gap
between theoretical knowledge and practical application in the field of
electronics engineering.
