Until recently, the vast majority of embedded systems employed uniprocessor designs. The situation is changing quickly, with many systems migrating to multiprocessor designs. However, with the availability of Intel multi-core processors that offer greater processing capacity while reducing overall power consumption, getting your software up and running is, in many cases, fairly straightforward. The real challenge lies in getting the software to make full use of all the processor’s cores. This webinar will discuss the Intel multi-core processing platforms available today and provide a view into the upcoming offerings. It will then review the various multi-processing models (e.g. AMP, SMP and BMP) and discuss how each model affects code migration, parallelism, debugging and shared resources. The webinar will explore the tools available to help developers debug and optimize their multi-core applications and conclude with a worked example demonstrating how the tools can be used to maximize the performance on an Intel quad-core system.
