Unlocking the potential of embedded multicore processing - Dan Cronin, , Freescale Semiconductor
Multi-core development has been receiving hard knocks from developers and industry insiders as the programming model continues to be outpaced by the technology. How do developers evolve to a concurrent design for multi-core applications? How do they handle load balancing and mixed asymmetric / symmetric multi-processing environments on the same device? Dan will address the embedded multi-core programming challenges, including asymmetric vs. symmetric multiprocessing and protecting the cores. He will then present a new world of multi-core programming, where Linux and other OSs live in harmony and developers have better visibility into multi-core architectures through enhanced simulation and diagnostics.
