System-on-chip (SoC) designers face a difficult trade-off. On the one hand, they must deal with ever-increasing constraints on system costs and power consumption. On the other, they are being asked to ...

Compelling low-power and higher-performance embedded systems can now be realized by leveraging the advanced architecture and managed power characteristics of the IA-32 based Intel® Atom™ Processor.

The real change now affecting the embedded market is that the application software is also being asked to view the general purpose processor element using a multiprocessing paradigm so that this ...

Initial Licensees of the MIPS32(R) 34K(TM) Core Family Include iVivity, Mobileye and PMC-Sierra MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Feb. 6, 2006 -- MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MIPS - News), today introduced ...

This fifth lesson on RTOS finally addresses the real-time aspect of the “Real-Time Operating System” name. Specifically, in the video lesson 26, you add a preemptive, priority-based scheduler to the ...

Potentially substantial performance gains from the use of multithreading and multiprocessing architectures have captured the attention of designers of consumer devices and other electronic products.

Is multithreading better than multi-core? Is multi-core better thanmultithreading? One might as well ask whether a diesel engine is betterthan four-wheel drive! The best vehicle for a given ...

A new multithreading architecture called MIPS MT ASE (multithreading architecture extensions) comes by way of MIPS Technologies. It provides coarse-grain and fine-grain multithreading support on a ...

Zephyr is a scalable, real-time operating system (RTOS) for microcontroller-based embedded systems. It’s an open-source project hosted by the Linux Foundation, backed by a broad ecosystem of silicon ...
