Atiquzzaman, M. and M.M. Banat, Effect of hot-spots on the performance of crossbar multiprocessor systems, Parallel Computing 19 (1993) 455-461. Previous studies on the performance of crossbar multiprocessor systems have assumed a uniform memory reference model. Hot-spots arising in multiprocessor systems due to the use of shared variables, synchronization primitives, etc. give rise to nonunifo...

Actually, multiprocessor architecture is one of the solutions to fulfill the heavy computational requirements of the new applications running on embedded systems such multimedia and 3D games. The design of such systems pose various problems located at different level: architecture topology, lack of multiprocessor RTOS. Hence, we suggest in this paper a new topology of multiprocessor architectur...

Multiprocessor architectures, operating systems and real-time technologies are all interesting and highly advanced topics. Real-time demands inject an additional correctness criterion into computer systems. It is not just the result that is important, timing issues also have to be considered. A multiprocessor system is able to provide more performance than today’s fastest single processor solut...
