With Intel’s recent release of dual-core Xeon processors, the server processor market is more confusing than ever. Dual-core, multiprocessor, hyperthreading -- what’s it all mean, and how can you make ...

Though the use of multiple processors has grown in recent years, multiprocessor computers are more than 30 years old. Since this time, their capabilities have evolved as much as their implementation.

Although snoopy virtual-bus approaches are the first step, hybrid snoopy-directory schemes will be the next trend in embedded coherence. Without a doubt, embedded systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) are becoming ...
