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 ...

Such a system is a good candidate for multiprocessor design. Multiprocessing Machine The multiprocessor vending machine has several advantages (Fig. 2). For one, the critical payment-processing task ...

One near constant that you have been seeing in the pages of The Next Platform is that the downside of having a slowing rate at which the speed of new processors is increasing is offset by the upside ...

This application note uses the H8S/2339 multiprocessor function to transmit and receive data asynchronously, sharing a serial communication line with an H8S/2339 and an H8/2215 units. 1. As shown in ...

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 ...

There are significant differences between the PCI Express architecture and its future cousin Advanced Switching Interconnect (ASI), but contrary to popular belief, the ability to build robust ...

This paper describes the development of a Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) with a novel interconnect architecture and an enhanced compiler support for programmability. Our MPSoC programming ...
