Development of a Functional Prototype of the Quad Core Ngmp Space Processor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Next Generation Microprocessor (NGMP) is a SPARC V8(E) based multi-core architecture that provides a significant performance increase compared to earlier generations of European space processors. The NGMP is currently in development at Aeroflex Gaisler Göteborg, Sweden, in activities initiated by the European Space Agency (ESA). The presentation and paper describes the baseline NGMP architecture and the functional prototype and validation board development. This paper describes an ongoing development, at the time of writing the devices and validation board has not yet been manufactured. Validation boards with devices are expected to be available during the third quarter of 2012.

Validating a Timing Simulator for the NGMP Multicore Processor
Timing simulation is a key element in multicore systems design. It enables a fast and cost effective design space exploration, allowing to simulate new architectural improvements without requiring RTL abstraction levels. Timing simulation also allows software developers to perform early testing of the timing behavior of their software without the need of buying the actual physical board, which ...
متن کاملA Prototype Implementation of MPI for SMARTMAP
Recently the Catamount lightweight kernel was extended to support direct access shared memory between processes running on the same compute node. This extension, called SMARTMAP, allows each process read/write access to another process’ memory by extending the virtual address mapping. Simple virtual address bit manipulation can be used to access the same virtual address in a different process’ ...

The quad processor core is a design philosophy that has become a mainstream in Scientific and engineering applications. Increasing performance and gate capacity of recent FPGA devices permit complex logic systems to be implemented on a single programmable device. The Embedded multiprocessors face a new problem with thread safety [5]. It is caused by the shared memory, when thread safety is viol...

متن کامل45nm Quad-Core Processors for Energy Efficiency
When running 16 CPU-intensive virtualized workloads, a server based on the 45nm Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor E5440 completed each workload by as much as 14 percent faster, using 29 percent less power, than a server based on the Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor X5355 (65nm). The 45nm processor was up to 43 percent faster and used up to 44 percent less power per workload than the Dual-Core Intel ...
