Featured White Paper: Multicore Embedded POV: Cutting to the core of the problem
Multicore processors are everywhere these days, from laptops to cellular base stations. More are on the way. In the embedded market, revenue from multicore CPUs will grow six-fold between 2007 and 2011, according to Venture Development Corporation, which calls it a "billion-dollar opportunity." Two TI experts, Gene Frantz and Ray Simar, square off on this issue - one sees multicore as the enemy of all that is good, and the other sees it as the right solution when it's in the right hands. |
