Design productivity is one the most important challenge facing future generation multiprocessor system on chip (MPSOC). The modeling of dozens of interconnected IPs with distributed memories implies ...

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 ...

Multiprocessor systems based on combinations of FPGAs and DSPs can be optimised with a design flow to address the creation, debug, verification and implementation of complex applications running ...

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 ...

It’s often tempting to make one processor handle the entire system load. But sometimes adding a second processor is the best option. DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete DESIGN SOLUTION ...

In many embedded system designs cost is king. To keep costs down, designers will typically call upon a single microprocessor to run the whole show, figuring that fewer parts means lower cost. But ...

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 ...

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

Distributed applications without interprocess communication does not exist. On the other hand, a variety of interprocess communication (IPC) mechanisms for operating systems exists to support ...

LONDON Multiprocessor design software supplier 3L is working with signal processing specialist Lyrtech Inc. to enable Lyrtech’s customers to access a custom version of 3L’s Diamond multiprocessor tool ...

IMEC has launched a suite of tools and methods designed to optimise the mapping of applications onto embedded multiprocessor SoCs. Although such devices have begun to appear in a number of ...

Without much fanfare, all three of the Mac platform’s big upgrade card makers have stepped up their efforts to double your Mac’s processing power. Sonnet Technologies and XLR8 have already begun ...
