Systems composed of distinct operational modes are a common necessity for embedded applications with strict timing requirements. With the emergence of multi-core platforms protocols to handle these systems are required in order to provide this basic functionality.In this work a description on the problems of creating an effective mode-transition protocol are presented and it is proven that in some cases previous single-core protocols can not be extended to handle the mode-transition in multi-core.
