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

Potentially substantial performance gains from the use of multithreading and multiprocessing architectures have captured the attention of designers of consumer devices and other electronic products.

QNX has added Freescale's 1.5-GHz dual e600 Power core MPC8641D support to its collection of Neutrino real-time operating-system (RTOS) platforms. The microkernel-based QNX Neutrino supports bound ...

A clearer understanding of the differences between multithreading on a single coprocessor and utilizing multiple processors is essential to designers of wireless systems. Cell phones were among the ...

The terms “multicore” and “multiprocessing” get used a lot these days and they mean different things to different people. In the world of PCs, the multicore processors getting all the attention are ...

Several processors in one system is no news for embedded designers. Like most ideas discovered by marketing, multiprocessing had been around a long time before someone came up with the word multicore ...
