| Title | Manycore Design – Going Beyond 8 Cores System Design Considerations to be Scalable Over 8 Cores |
| Speaker | Masaki Gondo Software CTO and GM Technology Headquarters at eSOL |
| Abstract | Dual-core processors are now almost the standard - quad-cores are also abundant. We are seeing eight cores. Extrapolating the trend and its speed, a further increase in the number of processing cores is certain to come. It is clear that simple, independent AMP approaches only will not scale due to the complexities and lack of performance. In this talk, we will explore how the increasing number of cores impacts the system design - the requirements and challenges regarding both hardware and software. Then we will discuss why the legacy single-core based technologies will not scale, including their extensions such as existing multicore RTOS. A new, distributed microkernel RTOS architecture is introduced and the provided mechanisms are explained, and how they solve the scalability issues of existing solutions. System designs that can be realized by such OS architecture are discussed. A brief discussion on the importance of multicore tool support is also given. |
