Development of embedded multicore systems

The concepts involved in the programming process of multicore systems have been quite well known for decades. The problem is to produce it in a form as easy as sequential programming. This new trend will change the way we think about the whole development process. We will show that it is possible to develop a multicore embedded system application using existing tools and the model-driven development process proposed. To do this, two tools will be used: VisualRTXC (available at www.quadrosbrasil.com.br) for generating the multithread communication/synchronization structures and a performance tool called TAU (available at http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/research/tau/home.php) for the tuning of the final implementation.
