Blending Asymmetric and Symmetric Multiprocessing with a Single OS on ARM11 MPCore
By Masaki Gondo, Director of Engineering, eSOL Co., Ltd.
Synopsis
ARM11 MPCore is an excellent multicore processor, appropriate for both SMP and AMP. Many embedded system designs already uses AMP model, either on chip or off chips, so unforeseen design challenges are limited for software developers using AMP model with MPCore. On the other hand, the increasingly […]
