MULTICORE ASSOCIATION WORKGROUPS
The Tools Infrastructure (TIWG™) working group is defining a common data format and creating standards-based mechanisms to share data across diverse and non-interoperable development tools for homogeneous and heterogeneous multicore systems, specifically related to the interfaces between profilers and analysis/visualization tools. The TIWG is also collaborating with the CE Linux Forum on a reference implementation for a de-facto trace data format standard that TIWG will define. Learn more about TIWG»
The Multicore Programming Practices (MPP™) working group has collaboratively developed a multicore software programming guide for the industry that will aid in improving consistency and understanding of multicore programming issues. Interested in contributing to the next version of this document? Learn more about MPP»
The Multicore Communications API (MCAPI®) working group is adding more features to expand the usefulness of MCAPI for Version 2.x. These features include 'zero copy' functionality, including bidirectional interaction between 'application and application' using shared memory and bidirectional interaction between 'application and driver'. Learn more about MCAPI»
The Multicore Virtualization (MVWG™) working group is deriving different categorization for virtualization hooks in multicore SoCs based on different market/applications; this will ultimately assist system companies in choosing the best processor and architecture to meet their requirements.
