As silicon technology migrates from 0.18 micron to 0.13 micron and below, it has become possible to integrate a large number of processors and peripheral devices and more than 1 Mbyte of SRAM on a ...

Those days have long gone. There is currently a tremendous growth in the development of systems that involve tens or hundreds of complex processors and hardware accelerators in closely coupled or ...

The current manufacturing technology allows the integration of a complex multiprocessor system on one piece of silicon (MPSoC for Multiprocessor System-on-Chip). One way to manage the growing ...

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.
