It gives the novice designer a feel for· approaching and tackling the task of microcomputer system design. A few detailed applications illustrate the design process. None of the examples presented is intended to be a complete or specific design. A result of this report is guidelines for the systematic approach to the design process. Such an approach greatly simplifies,the process of sys­ tem design. Although terms are explained at a general level, this report deals with specifics quite often to elucidate certain design criteria. Project Overview When a designer embarks on a microcomputer system design project, he should take a systematic approach to the design process. In the section on "Approach to System Design," hints about hardware and soft­ ware design are presented. Examples using the INTEL 8086 CPU with PL/M-86 as the application language are used throughout the design process. Use of diagnostic routines and discipline in software are also explained. Finally, the importance of economics, testing, and system integration in design are given. The chapter on the hardware system first distinguishes essential 1 2 hardware functions needed in the design. Specific boards to implement these functions are then selected along with the justification of their selection. The advantages of the processor and language selected are also given. In the software systems chapter, first basic terminology used in operating systems is explained and the keypoints in selecting an oper­ ating system are given. The keypoints indicate the usefulness and power of an operating system. This section gives the designer a handle on selecting the operating system he needs. In the next section, a specific operating system is selected based on the points in the pre­ vious section. The selected operating system is shown to be very suit­ able to our design requirements.

    Presentation on Principles of Distributed Embedded Systems (Embedded Systems - ECE)​​ I -M.TECH I -Semester (AUTONOMOUS-R18) Prepared by, Dr. S. Vinoth Associate Professor UNIT - I REAL TIME ENVIRONMENT 2 UNIT - I REAL-TIME ENVIRONMENT .Real-time computer system requirements .classification of real time systems .simplicity, global time .internal and external clock synchronization .real time model. Real time communication .temporal relations, dependability .power and energy awareness .real time communication .event triggered .rate constrained .time triggered. 3 What is an Embedded system? 4 What is a real-time system? . A real-time system is any information processing system which has to respond to externally generated input stimuli within a finite and specified period –the correctness depends not only on the logical result but also the time it was delivered –failure to respond is as bad as the wrong response! . The computer is a component in a larger engineering system => EMBEDDED COMPUTER SYSTEM 99% of all processors are for the embedded systems market 5 Terminology • Hard real-time — systems where it is absolutely imperative that responses occur within the required deadline. E.g. Flight control systems. • Soft real-time — systems where deadlines are important but which will still function correctly if deadlines are occasionally missed. E.g. Data acquisition system. • Real real-time — systems which are hard real-time and which the response times are very short. E.g. Missile guidance system. • Firm real-time — systems which are soft real-time but in which there is no benefit from late delivery of service. A single system may have all hard, soft and real real-time subsystems In reality many systems will have a cost function associated with missing each deadline.

Secure Meeting Lobby for Locked Conferences This release of the RealPresence Collaboration Server implements a secure meeting lobby option for callers that try to join an active locked conference. When implemented, the RealPresence Collaboration Server does the following: ● Puts a caller who tries to join an active locked conference into the secure meeting lobby, plays the designated IVR message, and displays the designated slide. ● Sends a notification to all conference chairpersons (with AVC endpoints) that one or more callers are waiting in the lobby. The notification identifies the most recent five callers to join the lobby by user or site name and provides a total number of callers waiting in the lobby. Callers stay in the meeting lobby until the chairperson unlocks the conference or until a designated time-duration elapses.

Massachusetts SUBJECT: Utility Control Program To: Scientific and Engineering Computation Staff and Operators From: F. C. Helwig Date: November 22. 1954 Abstract: The S&EC Group has developed a large library of utility tapes which includes input programs, conversion programs. post-mortem programs and equipment checking programs. The more frequently used programs in thislibrar.y have been semi­ permanently recorded either on the nagmetic drums or as numbered blocks on magnetic tape. The selection and use of programs from the librar.f is initiated by a utility control program which has been semi­ pennanently recorded in group 11 of the auxiliary drum.
