I’m reading about embedded systems and there’s a lot of talk about distributed platforms. I’m looking for a definition of what is a distributed platform ,I have a vague semblance of it being when an embedded system controls multiple, disconnected parts, like, in a helicopter, it needs to control the tail rotor and top-side rotor, and measure acceleration and position etc.
Is this correct?
Time-triggered architecture is supposed to “offers synchronous execution on distributed platforms,”.
In my opinion, it is a group of computers on a network accomplishing a common task. The point of having several computers may be specialization or fault tolerance or both.
Maintaining a consistent global state is the main challenge of such architectures.
