Harnessing the Potential of Multicore Processors for Real-Time Applications

Chris Grujon, TenAsys

Making a multicore real-time system behave transparently requires a number of communication and system management functions running under the hood to provide transparency while realizing the performance potential of multicore processors.

Approaches to Inter-OS Communication and Messaging for Multicore – Multi OS Systems

Gerd Lammers, Real Time Systems

Realizing the potential of multicore processors involves more than simply running multiple RTOSs. Additional functions to manage communications control and messaging are needed and must be kept transparent to the operations.
