When one thinks of embedded systems, it may be natural to think of extremely simple processors which are just barely able to perform the tasks which are asked of them. That view is somewhat dated, ...

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PX5, a global leader in high-performance real-time operating systems and middleware, today announced hard real-time Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) and Symmetric ...

A few days ago, Lou Covey and I published an article for EDN about how not all forms of multiprocessing were created equal. FPGAs got some appropriate billing in that ...

Freescale Vybrid controller solutions set a new standard for the design of real-time systems that need rich display and multimedia capabilities Innovative asymmetrical-multiprocessing architecture ...

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Applied Micro Circuits Corporation, or AppliedMicro (NASDAQ:AMCC), today announced the availability of “Diamondback” APM86392 and APM86391, the newest members of ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Engineers contemplating a migration from a single-core to a multicore processor must identify where parallelism exists ...

When we hear the term “multiprocessing,” we often associate it with “symmetric multiprocessing (SMP).” This is because of SMP’s initial prevalence in the high-performance computing world, and now in ...

Wind River’s VxWorks 6.7 real-time operating system (RTOS) addresses asymmetrical multiprocessing (AMP) in addition to symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP). A core reservation system allows AMP-style ...

Later this year, Enea Embedded Technology intends to offer enhanced asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) with integrated load balancing for its OSE real-time operating system. Enea will initially offer ...

True, I quite forgot about the nifty SPU-to-SPU-to-RAM array processing stuff. In practice the SPUs are likely to be told 'here's what to do and where to find it' by the main CPU, and then go away and ...

Though the use of multiple processors has grown in recent years, multiprocessor computers are more than 30 years old. Since this time, their capabilities have evolved as much as their implementation.
