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 ...

Multiprocessing is ubiquitous in today’s electronic systems. The key benefits are faster processing due to parallel execution and improved operating characteristics such as power, thermal and latency ...

MIPS32 1004K coherent processing system is a multithreaded, multiprocessor licensable IP multiprocessor platform that supports up to four single- or double-threaded processor cores connected together ...

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 ...

As silicon technology migrates from 0.18 micron to 0.13 micron and below, it has become possible to integrate a large number of processors and peripheral devices and more than 1 Mbyte of SRAM on a ...

LEUVEN, Belgium — In the hope of establishing its own proprietary hardware-software platform for future mobile electronics applications, Freescale Semiconductor Inc. has signed up to perform ...

Hardware/software co-design has been a goal for several decades, but success has been limited. More recently, progress has been made in optimizing a processor as well as the addition of accelerators ...
