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 ...

Signal processing systems often include multiple types of processors, such as Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), General Purpose Processors (GPPs), and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). These ...

Multiprocessing is ubiquitous in today’s electronic systems. The key benefits are faster processing due to parallel execution and improved operating characteristics such as power, thermal and latency ...

As time goes by, new applications emerge more complex and demanding than ever, leading technology forward. In the embedded systems area, the MPSoC solution is increasingly adopted by industry, as it ...

Real-time scheduling of parallel tasks in multiprocessor systems is a critical field that underpins the reliability and efficiency of modern computing in applications ranging from embedded systems to ...

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

Two processors can work better than one when they're tuned to a particular application area. Tensilica's new Xtensa-V architecture makes this possible for any number of processors in addition to ...

According to X-ES, its XPand4200 series of multiprocessor systems is now flight-qualified. The XPand4208 and XP4206 systems, tested to MIL-STD-810, DO-160, and MIL-STD-461, are based on the Intel Core ...

Dr. Anup Das, the most recent addition to our ECE faculty, is co-author of a new book, "Reliable and Energy Efficient Stream and Multiprocessor Systems," out now from Springer International Publishing ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dietmar Eggemann posted a patch from Quentin Perret to take advantage of energy-efficient CPUs on asymmetric multiprocessor (AMP) systems. AMP is distinguished from SMP (symmetric multiprocessor) ...
