Optimizing Zephyr for Peak Performance - Jacob Beningo, Beningo Embedded Group

The Zephyr Project is a leading open-source RTOS for resource-constrained, real-time applications. Its modularity, vendor neutrality, and rich ecosystem make it a powerful choice for embedded developers. However, achieving peak performance requires a deep understanding of Zephyr’s internals and optimization strategies.

This session explores techniques to optimize Zephyr applications for efficiency, low latency, and real-time predictability. Attendees will learn how scheduling, memory management, and interrupt handling impact performance and how to fine-tune these elements for specific workloads. We’ll cover configuring Zephyr for high-performance execution, reducing runtime overhead, and debugging bottlenecks.

Key topics include:
• Zephyr’s scheduling model and task prioritization
• Optimizing interrupts and reducing latency
• Fine-tuning memory management and resource allocation
• Profiling and debugging performance issues
• Advanced optimizations for power efficiency and I/O

Whether you’re developing for IoT, industrial automation, or real-time control, this session will equip you with practical strategies to maximize Zephyr’s performance and reliability.
