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 ...

Support for distributed and multicore systems can be provided by an optional RTOS component called a link handler. These add-ons offer an elegant general alternative to traditional network ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
