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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...
