An FPGA-Based Experiment Platform for Multi-Core System
Jianguo Xing, Wenmin Zhao, Hua Hu · 2008
The undergoing radical change of microprocessor architecture, from single-core design to multi-core design on a chip, has posed great challenge to computer system education. In this paper, we introduce an educational experiment platform for multi-core system design with commercial off-the-shelf FPGA chips and free open IP cores. From this simple platform, student can learn some common design patterns and techniques in multi-core system which can be a good start for real application design.
