Developing Embedded Software in Multi- Core SoCs
The typical multi-core solution divides the application space into two general parts: control and user interface, and non-stop processing.
The control and user interface portions are run on an ARM microprocessor and the non-stop processor portion is run on a DSP (or second ARM core). The model makes a lot of sense for many reasons: The microprocessor can be programmed using high level languages like C/C++ and Java. - An RTOS or OS...

Leveraging Multi-Core Processors for High-Performance Embedded Systems
The industry trend toward multi-core processors is picking up steam, and for good reason.
Compared to conventional uniprocessor chips, multi-core processors deliver significantly greater compute power through concurrency, offer greater system density, and run at lower clock speeds, thereby reducing thermal dissipation and power consumption.
Already, multi-core processors have taken center stage in the product lineups of several major...

Create Hybrid Real-Time and General Purpose Multi-Core Systems
Virtualization brings exceptional advantages to real-time systems.
The capabilities that are evident in the general computing world, including the ability to consolidate servers and support heterogeneous environments on a single machine, are all the more compelling on embedded servers.
This white paper provides insight about how virtualized solutions based on Microware OS-9 can make the most of modern embedded server hardware.

Multi-Core DSP Enables Advanced Target Discrimination and Tracking
Video surveillance must automatically detect targets and suspicious behaviors in order to effectively monitor large networks of cameras.
Single processor designs have limited previous attempts at video content analysis and computer vision.
We present a cost-effective multi-core approach that utilizes 16 DSP and 8 RISC processors on one chip, working in parallel to analyze video feeds for use in smart network cameras.

QNX Overview to SMP, AMP, and BMP for Multicore
Two heads are better than one' goes the old saying, and the same is true for computer systems, where two--or more--processors can greatly improve performance.
Multiprocessing systems can be in these forms: Discrete or traditional A system that has separate physical processors hooked up in multiprocessing mode over a board-level bus. Multicore A chip that has one physical processor with multiple CPUs interconnected over a chip-level...
