Overview:
Multi-core processors are the latest rage. Why use a single-core processor in your system when you can get multiple cores in the same area? Unfortunately, simply sticking in that multi-core processor doesn't begin to solve your problems. In fact, it opens up a complete Pandora's Box of issues that need to be dealt with.
In this Webinar, our esteemed panel will take a look at what issues you need to be concerned with if you're considering a multi-core design. Then, they'll provide the path you should be taking to get passed these various hurdles.
By the end of the Webinar, you may not have everything you need to design that multi-core system, but you'll have a great starting point, and lots more answers than questions.
Like all Webinars produced by Embedded Systems Design/Embedded.com, you have an opportunity at the end of the panel discussion to pose your questions to our panel of experts, and receive live answers.
