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 ...

Consider a multiprocessor system using several discrete chips, in which each processor can access memory and I/O through the appropriate bridges (Figure 2a). A direct SOC implementation of the ...

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 ...

As silicon technology migrates from 0.18 micron to 0.13 micron and below, it has become possible to integrate a large number of processors and peripheral devices and more than 1 Mbyte of SRAM on a ...

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 ...

Multi-core are emerging as solutions for high performance embedded systems. Although important work have been achieved in the design and implementation of such systems the issue of synchronization ...
