In any embedded application, once the code is implemented, typically it fails due to bugs in the program. It is rare to find complex code that is written correctly the first time and requires no ...

In the prior two articles in this series (What Is SMP Without Shared Memory? and The Essentials Of Multiprocessor Programming), we have gone through the theory behind programming multi-threaded ...

For a long time now, researchers have been working on automating the process of breaking up otherwise single-threaded code to run on multiple processors by way of multiple threads. Results, although ...

Multi-threaded applications are becoming more sophisticated as multicore and many core platforms become the norm even for embedded applications. I recently spoke with Andy Chou is, Co-Founder and ...

The key to the Virtual Processor Element (VPE) approachused in the MIPS 34K core is a set of extensions of the processor'sbasic instruction set architecture, rather than a specific set ofhardware ...

AMD has open sourced more than 3,000 routines in its AMD Performance Library for multi-threaded programming. These routines, which will make it easier to build media and other applications for ...
