The correct option is B Embedded computers
Embedded computers are
specially designed computer chips reside inside other device, such as your car
or your electronic thermostat..
An embedded system is a
programmed controlling and operating system with a dedicated function within a
larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing
constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including
hardware and mechanical parts. Embedded systems control many devices in common
use today. Ninety-eight percent of all microprocessors are manufactured components
of embedded systems.
Examples of properties of
typical embedded computers when compared with general-purpose counterparts are
low power consumption, small size, rugged operating ranges, and low per-unit
cost. This comes at the price of limited processing resources, which make them
significantly more difficult to program and to interact with. However, by
building intelligence mechanisms on top of the hardware, taking advantage of
possible existing sensors and the existence of a network of embedded units, one
can both optimally manage available resources at the unit and network levels as
well as provide augmented functions, well beyond those available.
