To All: Your life literally depends on millions of invisible computers that control everything from commercial airliners and antilock braking systems to traffic lights and medical equipment. It's a good thing those computers don't crash as often as PCs, because real life does not let you undo. Embedded control systems far outnumber PCs, and they're multiplying faster than AOL disks. Occasionally they do fail, sometimes with catastrophic results. In 1996, an Ariane 5 rocket exploded after a program tried to stuff a 64-bit value into a 16-bit variable. In 1991, an Iraqi Scud missile killed 28 Americans when a computer's clock drift prevented a Patriot missile battery from tracking the target accurately. In 1986 and 1987, three cancer patients died when a pair of Therac-25 radiation-therapy machines accidentally blasted them with lethal doses of radiation. But those kinds of failures make news precisely because they're rare. Millions of vehicles and other devices work flawlessly, day after day. What makes embedded systems so reliable? ** KEY WORD IS DAY after DAY-- what if you don't Know what DAY it is? ie 2000 or 1900..... WOW...
