Those days have long gone. There is currently a tremendous growth in the development of systems that involve tens or hundreds of complex processors and hardware accelerators in closely coupled or ...

However, smart design teams will pick a satellite processor that meets the needs of many multiprocessor designs. Thus, tool cost can be spread over many designs, lowering the overall impact. It also ...

For many applications, allocating performance among all of the tasks in a system-on-chip (SoC) design is much easier, and provides greater design flexibility, with multiple CPUs than with just one ...

The design, implementation, and programming of multicore heterogeneous systems is becoming more common, often driven by the software workloads, but the tooling to help optimize the processors, ...

Two processors can work better than one when they're tuned to a particular application area. Tensilica's new Xtensa-V architecture makes this possible for any number of processors in addition to ...

Without much fanfare, all three of the Mac platform’s big upgrade card makers have stepped up their efforts to double your Mac’s processing power. Sonnet Technologies and XLR8 have already begun ...
