Microcontroller architecture for industrial cyber-physical systems

The article discusses trends and approaches to the development of industrial cyber-physical systems, highlighted the requirements for such systems. The main methods of increasing the computational performance of processors in embedded systems and the latest approaches used in computing, such as heterogeneous computing and increasing the number of processor cores for parallel execution of operations, are considered. The issue of security of cyber-physical systems in the post-quantum era and methods of hardware implementation of quantum-resistant encryption algorithms based on lattice theory that meet performance and security requirements are considered separately. Methods for improving the reliability of embedded systems and expanding functionality using field programmable gate arrays are also described. The advantages of the RISC-V (reduced instruction set computer) core architecture for embedded systems are considered. Based on the requirements, a microcontroller architecture based on RISC-V is proposed, which uses the principle of heterogeneous computing to increase performance, meeting the requirements of modern equipment for industrial cyber-physical systems.
