Performance evaluation of local server running over the WinXP Embedded

Abstract: The performance evaluation of local server, especially the performance of the serial port, internet connection and also the database functions, running over the 32-bit Windows XP Embedded is a part of control and monitoring system. This system consists of Wireless Sensor Network, Local Server, Data Transfer (via the Internet), Main Server and Clients. The WinXPe is lighter environment and the Local Server acts as gateway software that communicates between wireless sensor networks. The gateway software is Windows based application that is developed with the help of MFC of Visual Studio. The performance of serial port is verified through comparison of packet error rate under both Windows XP and Windows XP Embedded. The performances of database functions are verified through comparison of time spend to create table, insert value, delete table, delete specific values of table, and update table, etc. under both 64-bit and 32-bit system.
