Multi-core processors are rapidly becoming a reality. Multi-core processors offer the benefits of increasing performance, increasing MIPS per watt and reducing system footprint. Dual-core processors are already available and future generations will move beyond two processing cores.

However, the CPU alone does not make a system. What about software? Is your software ready for a multi-core environment? To date the majority of software has been developed for uni-processor systems. The largest performance benefit will come from software that is developed with concurrency in mind - software that is fully capable of using all the CPU resources in the multi-core processor. Software and system vendors need to chart a course to fully exploit the performance improvements offered by the next generation of multi-core silicon.

Learn how the innovative features of the QNX Momentics Multi-Core Edition helps you preserve your existing software base while migrating to multi-core processing environments.
