Multicore processors provide design teams with more processing power in smaller packages with less power consumption than ever before. Harnessing this compute power effectively can be challenging due to the increased complexity of multicore system design. This presentation will look into the primary multicore software configurations such as SMP, AMP and sAMP and show how virtualization can be used to increase the performance, capability, and reliability of multicore designs. The presentation will present real world examples of effective use of multicore and virtualization in the embedded space.
