We have designed and implemented a virtual machine monitor that virtualizes a sharedmemory multi-processor machine on a commodity cluster. This functionality greatly simplifies utilization of commodity clusters. For example, it enables parallel applications for sharedmemory multi-processor systems to run on clusters without any change of the applications. Moreover, commodity operating systems t...

In recent years the multi-core era started to affect embedded systems, changing some of the rules: While on a single processor, Earliest Deadline First has been proven to be the best algorithm to guarantee the correct execution of priorized tasks, Dhall et al. have shown that this approach is not feasible for multi-processor systems anymore. A variety of new scheduling algorithms has been intro...

Manufacturers are creating multi-core processors to solve specialized problems. This kind of processor can process tasks faster by running them in parallel. This paper explores the usability of the Communicating Sequential Processes model to create a simulation of a multi-core processor aimed at media processing in hand-held mobile devices. Every core in such systems can have different capabili...

Multi-core architecture is established on a number of processors and has local caches (memories). When all the mandatory actions of a computer are executed on a processor which has more than one core to execute, its processor is known as multi core architecture. Multi-core processing is used to make tasks energy efficient, augment their performance and to make multiple tasks run concurrently in...

High speed image and video processing is a key technology in multi-media applications, and, therefore, currently many hardware accelerators to speed up such processing are developed and used. However, for the next generation advanced multi-media applications in the next generation, such as high quality virtual reality, bidirectional visual interface, etc., the hardware accelerators can not deal...

Task partition is a NP-Hard problem on multi-core processor. To achieve a good MCT (maximum completion time) goal, this paper presents a novel task partitioning method for multi-core processor based on the cohesion and coupling properties of tasks. First, the relations between the cohesion and coupling are analyzed and the computation method of coupling cost based on cohesion is designed with t...

Multi-core Processors Rapidly developing in the world we live and Companies Manufacturers continuous efforts to manufacture faster intelligent chips. The use of multi-core processors has become widespread many areas; therefore, task Partitioning for a hot issue research community. Many types have been done on Task Mapping from various perspectives by researchers. existing partitioning algorithm...
