The Dependable Multiprocessor technology to be validated by Space Technology 8 is composed of a state-of-the-art COTS-based supercomputer architecture and advanced-technology fault-tolerant software.

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 ...

Xen is a “hypervisor“–a thin layer of software that governs how different operating systems get access to computer resources such as processors and memory. But the current version is hobbled by the ...

This application note uses the H8S/2339 multiprocessor function to transmit and receive data asynchronously, sharing a serial communication line with an H8S/2339 and an H8/2215 units. 1. As shown in ...

One advantage of the multiprocessor vending machine is that the payment-processing task becomes independent of the other tasks. It also prevents the vending-machine controller from being tied up when ...

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 ...

There are significant differences between the PCI Express architecture and its future cousin Advanced Switching Interconnect (ASI), but contrary to popular belief, the ability to build robust ...

Multi-processor architectures are becoming prevalent in today’s embedded systems to keep up with growing computational requirements, throughput and integrated system features. As an example, high-end ...
