Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back Innovative principles of efficient real-time systems YA.A. HETAGUROV The article describes the way of building efficient systems using innovative principle of encoding information “1 of 4”, shows schemes of devices and examples of arithmetic encoding “1 of 4” and determined the characteristics of a computing device. Also, this paper shows a comparison of the characteristics of a system based on the principle of encoding “1 of 4” with the characteristics of a system based on a binary encoding. Keywords: coding information, the characteristics of systems, schemes of devices. Contacts: E-mail: tshe@bk.ru Pp. 10-21.
