For many of today’s embedded applications, compute requirements demand multiple cores (compute units). These applications also run various types of workloads. A ...

Figure 1.15 shows the use of two different microprocessor cores, one general-purpose processor and one DSP. Such a system is called a heterogeneous-multiprocessor system. A ...

The days of “throwing it over the wall” are over. Heterogeneous integration is ushering in a new era of silicon chip design with collaboration at its core—one that lives or dies on seamless ...

This review article, authored by Dr. Weidong Zhang’s team from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was recently published in the journal Robot Learning. Focusing on the increasingly prominent topic of ...

is changing the software equation with its Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) design (see Unified CPU/GPU Memory Architecture Raises The Performance Bar). It is a hardware architecture based on ...

AMD’s Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) hardware framework provides Heterogeneous Uniform Memory Access (hUMA) to CPUs and GPUs (Fig. 1). It radically changes the way CPUs and GPUs will interact ...

Cadence addresses this by aligning multiphysics analysis with signoff technologies for heterogeneous systems, including the Pegasus Physical Verification Platform. This helps maintain consistency ...
