Efficiency metrics model for component-based embedded application software

This paper develops efficiency metrics model to support application-level evaluation of embedded system resource utilization. In particular, we address the efficiency metrics of embedded application software running on a component-based embedded system. Efficiency analysis and estimate are, therefore, essential and critical during the design and integration of embedded application software, to estimate and predict that the application timing and hardware resource constraints will meet requirement. We propose an efficiency metrics method, which, on the basis of a parameterization of the software efficiency and the hardware architecture, is able to predict the number of response time, throughput and utilization of an embedded application system. Example with several conditions to explain the efficiency metric model is analysis and evaluated to support this claim.
