For a long time now, researchers have been working on automating the process of breaking up otherwise single-threaded code to run on multiple processors by way of multiple threads. Results, although ...

In any embedded application, once the code is implemented, typically it fails due to bugs in the program. It is rare to find complex code that is written correctly the first time and requires no ...

The key to the Virtual Processor Element (VPE) approachused in the MIPS 34K core is a set of extensions of the processor'sbasic instruction set architecture, rather than a specific set ofhardware ...

AMD has open sourced more than 3,000 routines in its AMD Performance Library for multi-threaded programming. These routines, which will make it easier to build media and other applications for ...

Multi-threaded applications are becoming more sophisticated as multicore and many core platforms become the norm even for embedded applications. I recently spoke with Andy Chou is, Co-Founder and ...

One of the key benefits of the C language, which is the reason it is so popular for embedded applications, is that it is a high-level, structured programming language, but has low-level capabilities.
