A chip designed with a specific set of usable instructions is called an embedded processor. An embedded processor is a type of CPU chip that cannot be used in a system that is a general-purpose workstation, laptop or desktop computer.
ð An embedded system is differ from the general purpose in the view of their purpose. The general purpose computers are the computers that are designed to perform many operations and which can be reconfigured for a new purpose where as an embedded is designed only meant for one purpose.ð An embedded system has a self-contained operating system on a "chip" hence embedded into the system and does not depend on having a hard disk with the operating system on it, whereas in the general purpose computer an operating system need to be present in the hard disk.ð Example for an embedded system is a portable music player; example for general purpose computer is PCs.

An embedded system or embedded computer system is a computer system which is designed to perform one or more tasks related to a particular real time application with application specific microcontroller or microprocessor based circuitry embedded in it.They are aimed at providing responses within a set deadline by the manufactured who would have deviced it from customers point of view. In contrast,general purpose computer system is a computer system which is designed to perform one or more tasks related to general purpose applications with a general purpose microprocessor based circuitry either existing as a separate unit(as in desktop) or embedded(as in palmtop,laptop).They are mainly aimed at providing maximum throughput(Throughput refers to measure of system's execution efficiency in instructions per second).A general purpose computer is a non-real time system,in the sense it need not meet deadlines.A general purpose computer is built around various embedded peripherals such as mouse,printer, router,scanner,etc.Real time system refers to a system which responds to any user input with minimum latency.Since PC's are surrounded by embedded peripherals they cannot come under category of embedded systems because of the following reason: They require a external reset by the user when system hangs.whereas in embedded systems an on chip WDT (WatchDogTimer ,also referred to as COP[ComputerOperatingProperly]timer automatically resets the system under such condition.
These are dedicated, special-purpose computers. They are often entire computers on an single chip. In comparison to general purpose computers, they are less expensive and more reliable, since they are used only for limited tasks.
Embedded system is a combination of software and hardware system ,in which s/w drives the hardware. The main objective :- (1)less power consumption (2) memory constraint (3) less area requirement
There is no such term as embedded process application but you probably meant embedded system software. Embedded systems can make use of general purpose compilers, assemblers and debuggers, but these are often used in conjunction with more specific high-level programming tools and modellers, many of which emit C-code or raw assembly.
computers are categories into three. these are: 1) Supercomputer 2) Minicomputer 3) Microcomputer

PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.
