On-Demand Webinar
Multi OS on MultiCore Systems

By Colin Walls,
Mentor Graphics

Overview:

While embedded systems has involved multiple operating systems for quite some time, the emergence of multicore system-on-chip (SoC) creates renewed interest along with challenges and opportunities for system architecture. This keynote presentation will discuss the various software architectures that can be implemented on multicore platforms: AMP with IPC, SMP and a mix of AMP and SMP. Challenges and opportunities for optimizing each type of architecture will also be explored. A key emphasis in this presentation will be on how to interface a real-time operating system (RTOS) with a Linux-based (open source) application framework like Android, and why it makes sense to have both environments tightly integrated.
