Multicore is coming to an embedded system near you.  Make sure you are prepared for the challenge ahead!

Getting the best out of multicore processors requires a radically new approach to system design, involving what will be for many engineers completely new tools and techniques.

This seminar is intended to de-mystify some of the jargon associated with multicore and to examine current trends in development tools, operating systems and available hardware.

Topics covered will include:

1)      Introduction – What is Multicore All About?

2)      Multicore – Past, Present and Future

3)      Hardware – Examples of Embedded Boards and Modules with Multicore CPUs

4)      Software – Tools, Operating Systems , Threading Libraries, Performance Analysers

5)      Techniques – Multithreading, Open MP, SMP (Symmetric Multiprocessing), AMP (Asymmetric Multiprocessing), Hypervisors

Presentations will be backed up by hands-on workshop sessions based on worked examples.

Delegates will have the use of the Hitex Multicore Development Toolsuite* throughout the session.

Please see the detailed agenda for further information.
