Application modeling for system design

Application modeling provides vital system engineering feedback throughout the product life cycle of intelligent devices. It assists in application design, while validating hardware selection. Embedded Alley builds on its extensive Linux expertise to develop effective modeling processes for performance analysis, helping OEMs determine the best hardware and software choices early in the design process.

Modeling for devices with flash memory

Flash memory is pervasive in modern intelligent devices, for storage of applications, multimedia and other end-user content. The combination of both read and write cycle sensitivity presents unique challenges to flash-based designs, leaving OEMs guessing as to how to choose flash technology and file systems. Embedded Alley Application Modeling eliminates the guesswork and helps meet product requirements for life expectancy and performance ahead of critical design choices.

These models illuminate the read and write behavior of the entire software stack, including application updates, data logging, user preferences and data files, as well as top-to-bottom system performance. The Embedded Alley Application Modeling solution condenses multiple years of end-product use into a few hours or days, allowing system designers to collect and analyze performance data to compare with design requirements. Modeling results help OEMs make informed decisions for the best hardware choices, the right file system and the optimum software design for the life of their products.
