Xen is a “hypervisor“–a thin layer of software that governs how different operating systems get access to computer resources such as processors and memory. But the current version is hobbled by the ...

Interconnect mechanisms are application-specific and represent a significant part of a design's value. Being able to capture system-level processor interactions is key to validating your system. You ...

One near constant that you have been seeing in the pages of The Next Platform is that the downside of having a slowing rate at which the speed of new processors is increasing is offset by the upside ...

If you are running a Windows PC that has different processors clubbed together, then during software installation or Windows Upgrade, the chances are that you may ...

Heterogeneous multiprocessor (HMP) systems, using functionally asymmetric compute elements, such as application processors and microcontrollers integrated within the same SoCs, are now used ...

This application note uses the H8S/2339 multiprocessor function to transmit and receive data asynchronously, sharing a serial communication line with an H8S/2339 and an H8/2215 units. 1. As shown in ...

This paper describes the development of a Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) with a novel interconnect architecture and an enhanced compiler support for programmability. Our MPSoC programming ...

One advantage of the multiprocessor vending machine is that the payment-processing task becomes independent of the other tasks. It also prevents the vending-machine controller from being tied up when ...

The real change now affecting the embedded market is that the application software is also being asked to view the general purpose processor element using a multiprocessing paradigm so that this ...

Multi-processor architectures are becoming prevalent in today’s embedded systems to keep up with growing computational requirements, throughput and integrated system features. As an example, high-end ...
