But don’t rule them out just yet. Is symmetric multiprocessing for you? BY DAVID N. KLEIDERMACHER News ● ARTEMIS and ENIAC get parlimentary approval ● Product teardown videos come on screen ● Esterel and AbsInt integrate products News ● Microsoft opens Windows to networked embedded applications News ● Trango embeds virtualization tool in Cavium’s multicore CPUs ● MindTree – ADI develop security DVR platform ● NXP extends deal with ARM to cover MCUs News ● Automotive and embedded to dominate DATE 08 ● ZigBee spec gets smart on energy ● Updated card spec provides for power-on boot Feature «6 «8 «10 «12 Multicore architectures can provide the performance boost you’re looking for, but the software is certainly more complicated. «32 «28 ARM provides the microcontroller solution BY REINHARD KEIL Accelerating MATLAB using MEX-files BY LUC SEMERIA MATLAB is great tool for algorithm development but somtimes it is slow, which limits its usefulness. There are a number of techniques available for speeding up MATLAB code.
