QNX Freescale Multi-Core Seminar - Dallas
QNX-Freescale Multi-Core Seminar Dallas
Designing and Optimizing Software for Freescale’s Dual-Core Power Architecture™ Processors
Location: Freescale Semiconductor Inc., Dallas, Texas
Thursday, February 22, 2007
10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
LUNCH included (sponsored by QNX and Freescale)
Join QNX Software Systems and Freescale Semiconductor for a technical seminar that looks at understanding and overcoming the challenges of designing optimized software for dual-core processors.
Applications today require more and more processing performance within existing system power budgets. Fortunately for developers, the dual-core MPC8641D and MPC8572DE processors available from Freescale provides many options for increasing and optimizing application performance without dramatically increasing power consumption.
There is one problem: most embedded engineers today are only familiar with single core processor programming and need to be able to select the appropriate programming model and access the right development tools to design and optimize software for dual core architectures. To address this imminent transition, QNX has introduced its Multi-core technology solution, the industries only comprehensive software infrastructure for multi-core processors.
Presenters at this seminar will address the problem by exploring proven strategies and techniques for distributing software tasks across dual cores. It also discusses the benefits and tradeoffs of several multiprocessing models (asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP), symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), and a QNX innovation called bound multi-processing (BMP) that combines the simplified programming model inherent to SMP with the control of AMP. Following this, an overview of QNX's recently introduced IDE 4.0, the most advanced development tools suite available for multi-core processor debug and optimization will be provided. Finally, a demonstration of QNX Momentics IDE 4.0 will be shown on the MPC8641D.
