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 ...

Xen, software that lets multiple operating systems run on the same computer, will become significantly more powerful with an upcoming version that introduces multiprocessor support. Xen is a ...

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

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 ...

Those days have long gone. There is currently a tremendous growth in the development of systems that involve tens or hundreds of complex processors and hardware accelerators in closely coupled or ...

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 ...

Operating systems are the foundational software that mediate between hardware resources and user applications. At their core, they manage processors, memory, storage and peripherals, enforcing ...
