The real change now affecting the embedded market is that the application software is also being asked to view the general purpose processor element using a multiprocessing paradigm so that this ...
This paper describes in details the features that allow SoCs to be built with up to eight 1.6 GHz PowerPC CPU cores in an embedded system supporting Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) architecture. The ...
Multiprocessing enables the computer to utilize multiple cores of a CPU to run tasks/processes in parallel. This parallelization leads to significant speedup in tasks that involve a lot of computation ...
