■ Performance analysis of multiprocessor software
■ Middleware and software services
■ Design verification of multiprocessor software
While real-time operating systems provide apparent concurrency on a single
processor, multiprocessor platforms provide true concurrency. The concurrency
and performance provided by multiprocessors can be very powerful but also
harder to analyze and debug.
The next section briefly reviews what is unique about multiprocessor soft-
ware as compared to both uniprocessor embedded systems and general-purpose
systems. Section 6.3 studies scheduling and performance analysis of multiple
tasks runnin ...
