This chapter looks at the Cortex-M processor features, including the different processor modes, privilege levels, and dual stack configuration.
POTION took approximately 1 day (~25 h, 89,563 s) to compute the entire MYC dataset using 90 processors, and the linear time to compute this entire dataset with a single processor was calculated to be more than 2 months (~1547 h, 5,568,246 s), indicating that POTION processed an entire dataset of genome-scale data 62 times faster when in multi-processor mode.
To do this, we have profiled the input operands of the adder and multiplier units by running some programs of MiBench embedded suite benchmark on an ARM processor performance mode.
To be succinct, the proposed SC protocol can not only work in dynamic networks consisting of both dormant processors and malicious processors (dual failure mode) but also ensure that all correct processors reach a SC value within fewer rounds of message exchange than required by the extant SC protocols.
Some important factors that affect the sensor node life are the power consumption in different modes of operation, switching cost to power down modes and time duration of the processor in each mode [14].
One of the cool features of Nehalem (Intel's code name for its next-generation general-purpose processor) is turbo mode.

Actually, in the embedded systems, the processor has two operating modes: the kernel mode and user mode.
The scheduler switches the processor from the user mode to a kernel mode via system calls; this mechanism is named the mode switch.
The Cortex-M3 processor has two modes and two privilege levels.
Regardless of the type of processor, certain address modes are usually available in one form or another.
