Device Software Optimization (DSO)

Definition - What does Device Software Optimization (DSO) mean?

Device software optimization (DSO) is a methodology developed by Wind River Systems that allows organizations to develop and execute multiple device applications and software which would run with faster efficiency and rate compared to the existing methods and at a lower cost of investment.

The methodology incorporates the usage of analysis tools for developing and analyzing application software for embedded ones. Device software optimization focuses on the goal of reducing the cost of investment, power consumption, development time for embedded applications while leveraging hardware resources.
