Welcome to Lecture 42 of the course “Embedded C Programming” by Prof. Nitin Chandrachoodan.
Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/es/course_pages/CS2101.html

Video Overview
This lecture delves into the crucial concept of optimization in embedded systems, focusing on achieving the best possible performance within system constraints. Explore key optimization metrics such as speed, memory footprint, battery life, power consumption, and cost. Learn practical techniques including algorithmic optimization (with C examples comparing sorting algorithms like bubble sort, insertion sort, and quicksort), memory usage reduction, CPU code improvements (like loop unrolling), and strategies for I/O and power optimization. Emphasis is placed on understanding system-level interdependencies to design efficient and high-performing embedded solutions.
