"The arrival and popularity of multi-core processors has sparked a renewed interest in the development of parallel programs. Similarly, the availability of low-cost microprocessors and sensors has generated a great interest in embedded real-time programs. This book provides students and programmers whose backgrounds are in traditional sequential programming with the opportunity to expand their capabilities into parallel, embedded, real-time and distributed computing. It also addresses the theoretical foundation of real-time scheduling analysis, focusing on theory that is useful for actual appl

> In Ada's case, the high cost of development systems Not necessarily. http://www.adacore.com/press/gnat-gpl-for-bare-board-arm/ Look also for the book "Building Parallel, Embedded, and Real-Time Applications with Ada" by McCormick, Singhoff and Hugues. Some prominent embedded engineers wonder why Ada is not used much more: http://www.embedded.com/electronics-blogs/break-points/40082... > Rise of UNIX use in the…

I haven't read it, but Labrosse's work in general is extraordinary, so this book may be what you're looking for. * If you don't mind Ada, Building Parallel, Embedded, and Real-Time Applications with Ada is a pretty good book on the subject, too. I've skimmed it and at least the aspects related to reliability are well-treated. * If you haven't already read it, van der Linden's "Expert C Programming"…
