|
2004-09-02 |
| Some say the microprocessor is dead. Not so fast, says industry expert Rich Belgard. The microprocessor isn't going away. As with the laws of motion, you can't just shift energy or complexity around without paying the price. Here's a more optimistic prognosis for the microprocessor |

Co-simulating software and hardware
|
1997-06-01 |
| Fighting time-to-market issues and wondering if hardware/soft-ware co-simulation would help? Two engineers from Sandia Labs review and compare different modelling approaches you can take and then describe how they addressed the problem. |
|
Simulating and debugging multi-core behaviour
|
2006-03-04 |
| Debugging a single processor is hard enough. What can you do when there are multiple processors inside one chip? One answer is to simulate the system before the actual hardware is ready. |
|
Addressing memory mapping issues in co-processing
|
2010-03-01 |
| By using accelerators, you can use fewer processors. This eliminates fancy interconnects and has fewer discrete bits of processing resource. The joke is if you want to make your chariot go faster do you want a thousand chickens or four strong horses. |
