Abstract (EN): The computational burdens posed by modern control algorithms preclude its industrial application using present-day microcomputers. The authors evaluate the computational load of different logical and arithmetic operations and the capabilities of several computing systems (software and hardware). This study reveals that real-time limitations can be alleviated through the adoption of general techniques associated with the data representation. Such techniques achieve not only a more efficient management of the computational resources but also provide a deeper insight on developments toward future real-time control architectures.
