Designing Multiprocessor Systems in Platform Studio
暂无分享,去创建一个
Embedded processing requirements are growing at a rapid pace and system architects are turning towards multiprocessor designs to solve the problems of burgeoning complexity and inadequateness found in a uniprocessor system. The advent of FPGAs with high logic density and high performance hard blocks, have made powerful chip multiprocessing (CMP) solutions a reality. The real challenge now lies in the rapid exploration and creation of designs in this solution space. The Xilinx Platform Studio (XPS) and Embedded Development Kit (EDK) is a comprehensive solution for designing embedded programmable systems. Platform Studio tools and IP make it very easy to design powerful CMP systems. They provide the flexibility to create uniquely crafted, customized solutions on FPGA logic real estate that can meet both price and performance targets. This white paper describes various multiprocessing hardware and software concepts in Platform Studio, as they apply to Xilinx solutions based on the PowerPC™ and MicroBlaze™ embedded processors.
