Assessment of Improved Embedded Linux Performance through Enhanced Memory Management

This paper explores enhancements to memory management algorithms on embedded Linux platforms, specifically focusing on TLSF and partner algorithm. These improvements aim to improve the speed and performance of embedded devices, crucial for meeting soft real-time constraints. The paper evaluates the effectiveness of these enhancements on the Embedded Linux operating system. Since embedded systems are expected to operate on hard or soft real time requirements, it becomes necessary for the operating system on embedded devices to reduce the latency as much as possible. Multiple concurrent tasks must be executed simultaneously seamlessly for certain applications. By ensuring efficient memory management, this goal can be primarily achieved efficiently.
