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 ...

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 ...

Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors, digital photography, AI, quantum computing, computer science, materials science, supercomputers, drones, browsers, 3D ...

The heart of a multiprocessor system is the interconnect architecture; it defines how the various resources communicate with each other and, as a consequence, how to manage issues such as contention ...

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 ...

Design productivity is one the most important challenge facing future generation multiprocessor system on chip (MPSOC). The modeling of dozens of interconnected IPs with distributed memories implies ...

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 ...

Multiprocessor real-time systems are central to modern computing, underpinning applications from smart devices to industrial automation. Real-time scheduling in these systems ensures that diverse ...

Thanks to its new extension for a multiprocessor simulation platform, dSPACE can connect several SCALEXIO multicore processing units to create powerful simulation platforms for real-time computation.

I had intended this month to carry on with presenting a caching class loader — that was the whole point of the zip-file access classes I presented in the last couple of columns. I’ve decided to ...

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 ...
