Getting the Most from Multiprocessor SoC Design

by Ashish Dixit EE Times, 20 Jul 2005 For many applications, allocating performance among all of the tasks in a system-on-chip design is much easier and provides greater design flexibility with multiple CPUs than with just one control processor and multiple blocks of logic. Just using bigger control processors will not satisfy the widely varying computational demands of many of today’s designs because bigger processors often require too much power, especially for consumer devices.
