Performance analysis of e-Archive invoice processing on different embedded platforms

In this paper, an embedded Linux-based platform named Digital Invoice ARchiving InSTrument (DIARIST) is proposed. While the DIARIST system is located on the tax payer's side, it is responsible for the processing of e-Archive invoices, it distinguishes e-Archive invoices from e-Invoices, it communicates with the remote server and it allows tax-payers to print their e-Archive invoices for their customers on local printers. In this paper, different embedded platforms for the DIARIST system are compared and the experiences are stated during design and development processes. Experimental results show that the most of the effort is being consumed while rendering the invoice data from HTML format to PDF format. Although HTML to PDF conversion for each invoice is a computation intensive process, we achieved to process an invoice in about two seconds on the tax payer's side.
