嵌入式软件开发的三个趋势

Three Trends in Embedded Software Development

摘要: 智能时代的嵌入式系统离不开高性能、高效的软件和先进的软件开发方式。本文介绍了近期嵌入式软件开发的三个趋势：1)边缘计算作为一种在本地处理和分析数据的方式正在快速发展，边缘计算与人工智能的结合正将智能计算从以云为中心的模型中转移出来；2) 虚拟化技术是今天高算力多核处理器计算系统采用的全新解决方案，容器技术则可通过简化嵌入式软件开发、部署和维护来助力复杂嵌入式系统的管理；3) DevOps的概念和实践正在逐步渗透进入嵌入式软件开发中，助力加快软件交付速度，提高应用程序质量和稳定性。

Abstract: High-performance efficient software and advanced software development techniques are keys to embedded systems in the era of intelligence. This paper describes three current trends in embedded software development: 1) Edge Computing is progressing quickly as a method to process and analyze data locally. Edge Artificial Intelligence is changing the cloud-central method of intelligent computing; 2) Virtualization is the new solution for high-performance multi-core processor systems. The container technology is streamlining the management of complex embedded systems by simplifying software development, deployment, and maintenance; 3) The concept and practice DevOps is breaking ground in embedded software development. It speeds up delivery, elevates quality, and promotes stability throughout the development process.
