Embedded systems: Many cores — Many problems
Reinhard Wilhelm, Jan Reineke · 2012
The embedded-systems industry is about to make a transition to multi-core platforms. This is a highly risky step as several essential problems are not yet solved. In particular, the performance analysis problem has no viable solution for the existing multi-core designs. The main culprit is the interference on shared resources. Several alternative approaches both in architecture and system design and in analysis methods are discussed.
