Market DemandsBusiness Constraints

• Time-to-market pressure• Price erosion• Fewer resources• Lower cost

Business Constraints• Increased functionality• Smaller packaging• Higher reliability• Lower operations cost (power)

Market Demands

Business and Market Demands

The effective application of multicore and/or virtualization technology is necessary to address these constraints and demands

Multicore and Virtualization

• What are these technologies?• What opportunities do these technologies open up?• Why are they becoming so important in the embedded

device industry now?• What is needed to effectively apply these technologies

to create better devices?

Multicore

Multicore combines two or more independent cores into a single package composed of a single integrated circuit (IC)

Does this mean your application will perform 1.6 times faster?

Drivers for Multicore and/or VirtualizationPrimary Driver Technology ApplicationPerformance • Single core to multicore

• Multicore to multi-multicoreConsolidation • Multiprocessing to multicore

• Multiprocessing to virtualized (single or multicore)• Multiple computers to virtualized (single or multicore)

Previous Barrier Requiring Separation• Different OS requirements (RTOS/HMI)• Specialized hardware (CPU/ASIC/FPGA)• Safe and non-safe subsystems • Secure and non-secure subsystems• GPL and non-GPL subsystems

Adoption of multicore and virtualization open up related opportunities to do the following:

• Leverage existing software in the form of legacy, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), and open source

• Improve reliability of systems
