The multicore revolution has reached the deployment stage in
embedded systems ranging from small ultramobile devices to large
telecommunication servers. The transition from single to multicore
processors, motivated by the need to increase performance while
conserving power, has placed great responsibility on the shoulders
of software engineers. In this new embedded multicore era, the
toughest task is the development of code to support more
sophisticated systems. This book provides embedded engineers with
solid grounding in the skills required to develop software
targeting multicore processors. Within the text, the author
undertakes an in-depth exploration of performance analysis, and a
close-up look at the tools of the trade. Both general multicore
design principles and processor-specific optimization techniques
are revealed. Detailed coverage of critical issues for multicore
employment within embedded systems is provided, including the
Threading Development Cycle, with discussions of analysis, design,
development, debugging, and performance tuning of threaded
applications. Software development techniques engendering optimal
mobility and energy efficiency are highlighted through multiple
case studies, which provide practical how-to advice on implementing
the latest multicore processors. Finally, future trends are
discussed, including terascale, speculative multithreading,
transactional memory, interconnects, and the software-specific
implications of these looming architectural developments.
