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 ...

Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors, digital photography, AI, quantum computing, computer science, materials science, supercomputers, drones, browsers, 3D ...

It’s often tempting to make one processor handle the entire system load. But sometimes adding a second processor is the best option. DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete DESIGN SOLUTION ...

Though the use of multiple processors has grown in recent years, multiprocessor computers are more than 30 years old. Since this time, their capabilities have evolved as much as their implementation.

Design productivity is one the most important challenge facing future generation multiprocessor system on chip (MPSOC). The modeling of dozens of interconnected IPs with distributed memories implies ...

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 near constant that you have been seeing in the pages of The Next Platform is that the downside of having a slowing rate at which the speed of new processors is increasing is offset by the upside ...

A group of computer scientists have found a way to tame multiprocessor computers, which behave in wildly unpredictable ways even as the systems become widespread in the industry. Computers should not ...

Distributed applications without interprocess communication does not exist. On the other hand, a variety of interprocess communication (IPC) mechanisms for operating systems exists to support ...

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 ...
