The Multicore Association is an open membership organization that includes leading companies implementing products that embrace multicore technology. Our members represent vendors of processors, operating systems, compilers, development tools, debuggers, ESL/EDA tools, simulators, as well as application and system developers, and share the objective of defining and promoting open specifications. Benefits of Membership»


The Multicore Association's roadmap consists of an extensive set of application programming interfaces (APIs) that support multicore communications, resource management, task management, and debug facilities. These APIs will provide a foundation for a multitude of services and functions including load balancing, power management, reliability, and quality of service, elements that are also on the consortium's roadmap.
Software development tools will be able to take advantage of the unified APIs, independent of specific multicore systems, and will provide support for other MCA roadmap elements such as programming languages and models, hypervisors, design environments, and application generators.

WORK IN PROGRESS

The Multicore Programming Practices (MPP) working group has a goal to develop a multicore software programming guide for the industry that will aid in improving consistency and understanding of multicore programming issues. Initially the group is working on best practices leveraging the C/C++ language to generate a guide of genuine value to engineers who are approaching multicore programming. more»

The Multicore Resource Management API (MRAPI) working group will specify essential application-level resource management capabilities needed by multicore applications (suitable for both SMP and AMP embedded multicore). more»

The Multicore Virtualization Working Group will focus on a variety of areas that support hypervisor portability and multicore capabilities. These areas initially include resource management, load balancing, and debugging APIs. more»
