Abstract Many Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) in industrial applications are embedded control systems. With the increasing scale and complexity of such system, the resource efficiency in the system design has become an important issue. The resources of CPSs mainly include: computation resource, communication resource and memory resource. The CPSs combine computation, communication and instruction/data storage closely, and realize the combination and coordination of computing resources and physical resources. This paper classifies the existing mainstream research results from three aspect: computation resource, communication resource and memory resource, reviews the research hotspots of each research field, and discusses the urgent problems related to computation resource, communication resource and memory resource in CPSs, as well as the possible research directions in the future.
