Figure 15-4 shows the generation of five different hardware/software
RTOSes based on five different user specifications (specified using Figure
15-2). Rather than discussing the details of the overview of Figure 15-4, we
instead focus on specific comparisons, such as RTOS1 versus RTOS2, in the
following section. After the specific comparisons, we will return to the
overview of Figure 15-4 and then conclude.
4. CUSTOM HARDWARE RTOS COMPONENTS
4.1. The SoCDMMU (RTOS1 vs. RTOS2)
In a multiprocessor SoC such as the one shown in Figure 15-1, current
state-of-the-art dynamic memory management typically relies on optimized
libraries. In fact, in the case of real-time systems, most commercial RTOSes
