Using POSIX Threading to Build Scalable Multi-Core Applications
Overview:
Until recently, the vast majority of embedded systems were based on uniprocessor designs. The situation is changing quickly, however, with the availability of multi-core processors chips that offer significantly greater processing capacity per watt, per ounce, and per square inch than conventional processor architectures. Fortunately, the multi-threading techniques required to leverage the performance of these multi-core processors are well established.

Attend and explore how POSIX threading and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) offer a scalable approach to realize the performance improvements of processors based on two, four, or more cores.

Estimated Length: 1 hour, including Q & A

Who should Attend:
This one-hour seminar with a short Q&A will be of great interest to embedded software development managers, architects, and developers who are considering using a multi-core processor for an upcoming project: directors, executives, engineers, software designers, team and test leads.

Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for this session.
