There is a distinction to be made between embedded systems and computers used for broad purposes. In contrast to personal computers, embedded devices are only capable of simultaneously running a single piece of software. It is not possible to programme embedded systems. In contrast to embedded systems, which are subject to a runtime limitation, general-purpose systems are required to have a faster processing speed in order to meet their requirements.
