Multicore System Management: Hypervisor or Multicore Framework?

White Paper Overview

With the increasing application of multicore to embedded devices, a number of important decisions are necessary to ensure an optimal design. One such decision concerns the overall control and management of a multicore system. Is a hypervisor required or is a multicore framework a better solution?

Deciding to use a hypervisor or a multicore framework, or both, to control and manage a multicore system is a critical architecture decision. This white paper provides information to help designers make the final decision that is dependent on the specific application requirements and the use case for their device.
