This chapters studies embedded multiprocessors in detail. Multiprocessing is
very common in embedded computing systems because it allows us to meet our
performance, cost, and energy/power consumption goals. Embedded multipro-
cessors are often heterogeneous multiprocessors, made up of several types of
processors. These multiprocessors run ...
