Benchmarks to Find the Optimal Microcontroller-Architecture
Klaus-Dietrich Kramer, Thomas Stolze, Thomas Banse · 2009
Microcontrollers (MC) are used in various technical systems (Embedded Control Systems - e.g. in smart control systems, automotive applications, communication systems and so on) to realize optimal and efficient systems. So the developers have to choose MC-architectures which are suited best for the target application. Therefore, it is necessary to define special features, like real-time requests, precision, power supply, tool chain, price, etc. This paper describes tools and algorithms to assess microcontroller-architectures in this sense.
