Embedded systems: Many cores - Many problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The embedded-systems industry is about to make a transition to multi-core platforms. This is a highly risky step as several essential problems are not yet solved. In particular, the performance analysis problem has no viable solution for the existing multi-core designs. The main culprit is the interference on shared resources. Several alternative approaches both in architecture and system design and in analysis methods are dis-

Towards many core real-time embedded systems: software design of streaming systems at system level
Nowadays, multi-core architectures become popular for embedded systems. As VLSI technology is scaling to deep sub-micron domain, an envisioned trend is that the architectures of embedded systems are moving from multiple cores to many cores. Although state-of-art multicore and future many-core architectures provide enormous potential, scaling the number of computing cores does not directly trans...
متن کاملSPMPool: Runtime SPM Management for Embedded Many-Cores
Distributed scratchpad memories (SPM) in embedded many-core systems require careful selection of data placement such that good performance can be achieved. In this paper, we propose SPMPool to share the available on-chip scratchpads on many-cores among executing applications in order to reduce the overall memory access latency. By pooling SPM resources, we can assign underutilized memory resour...
متن کاملSpecial issue on network-based many-core embedded systems
Many-core embedded system will integrate a large number of cores (several hundred) in order to meet the performance requirements of parallel applications. As the number of cores integrated into a chip increases, the conventional on-chip communication becomes power and performance bottleneck in many-core embedded systems. Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures have been emerged as the most viable s...
متن کاملThe Opportunities Afforded by Embedded Computer Systems for Monitoring and Control of Industrial Processes in Less-Industrialised Countries (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The dramatic changes in integrated-circuit technology over the last two decades have been of great benefit to countries such as Zimbabwe. High volume production of VLSI chips has produced a supply of intelligent, versatile electronic processing devices at very low cost. In particular the facilities of the microcontroller have steadily developed to the accompaniment of a reduction in price. Sinc...
متن کاملProtecting FPGA-based Partially Reconfigurable Embedded Systems and IP Cores from Remote Update
Intellectual Property (IP) core remote update via the Internet is an advantage of FPGA-based devices. Whereby the system designer or user can change or renew a part of his equipment. However, the problem of communication in an untrusted environment can lead to significant damage: The risks for the IP cores of designers or damaging devices or losing the properties of the user. There have been al...
