Multiprocessing is becoming a key differentiator for FPGA-based processor architectures. Of the design benefits that FPGAs provide embedded systems designers, one key advantage is the ability to adapt ...

Potentially substantial performance gains from the use of multithreading and multiprocessing architectures have captured the attention of designers of consumer devices and other electronic products.

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

QNX has added Freescale's 1.5-GHz dual e600 Power core MPC8641D support to its collection of Neutrino real-time operating-system (RTOS) platforms. The microkernel-based QNX Neutrino supports bound ...

Because the dimensions of lithography are now closer to the fundamental physical limits, scaling is more and more difficult and thus multi-core processor solutions are just starting to be more popular ...

Community driven content discussing all aspects of software development from DevOps to design patterns. Python is a highly concise and expressive language that enables developers to accomplish complex ...

Almost any discussion of software in low power systems these days involves some sort of multicore approach. That is particularly true at 90nm and below. At 65nm, unless there is a very distinct ...
