Wind River at Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley 2008

The multiprocessing equation is simple: More processors enable significantly better device solutions. Along with all the benefits of multiprocessing comes more complexity and the need to make critical device design choices about workload partitioning, system design, hardware and OS configuration, and application implementation. Visit Wind River and see firsthand how our market-leading VxWorks and Wind River Linux solutions, award-winning development tools, technology innovations, and global professional services are simplifying multiprocessing design challenges and even changing the game for some of the most innovative device manufacturers in the aerospace and defense, networking, industrial, and consumer industries.

Processing Paradigm: It's All About Capacity
Now we've got multiple CPU chips on a board, multiple CPU cores on a chip, different kinds of cores on a single chip, multiple computer boards in a single chassis—it goes on—all this hardware glued together to achieve something. This brings us to software. Software is what enables everything from multiprocessing to "polyprocessing." There are a lot of buzzwords about it: SMP, AMP, POS, VOS, real-time kernel, separation kernels, and so on. But what does it all mean? And what's it for? Read More »
