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 ...

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 ...

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

MIPS32 1004K coherent processing system is a multithreaded, multiprocessor licensable IP multiprocessor platform that supports up to four single- or double-threaded processor cores connected together ...

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 ...

The open-source operating system adopts an update that should help makers such as IBM use the open-source operating system better in multiprocessor servers. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 ...

Linus Torvalds released a new Linux kernel Monday that supports features in IBM's Cell processor, includes Oracle software for clustered databases and improves how the open-source operating system ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Engineers contemplating a migration from a single-core to a multicore processor must identify where parallelism exists ...

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 ...
