Multicore System Management FAQs

White Paper Overview

Leading-edge Multi-Processor System-on-chip (MPSoC) silicon offers new levels of system integration than ever before possible in an embedded device. Within these new advanced systems the use of both homogeneous (identical CPUs), and/or heterogeneous (multiple CPU types) cores allow for many different system designs. From the operating system (OS) to the application, your software must be multicore ready, so that your products maintain maximum performance. Deciding how to control and manage a multicore system is a critical architecture system decision.

This white paper addresses the most frequently asked questions developers have when choosing how to control and manage a multicore system.
