Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyze how the memory management configuration in Linux influences run-time performance of embedded systems. Extensive experiments confirm that the configuration of the memory management subsystem significantly affects the overall execution time, the memory performance, and the system call overhead. Our quantitative experimental results will help embedded systems designers to understand the effect of memory management configurations on the applications within a system, and contribute to the design of more efficient systems with an OS-level design space exploration.
