6 Business and Market Demands Business Constraints Market Demands Business Constraints Time-to-market pressure Price erosion Fewer resources Lower cost Market Demands Increased functionality Smaller packaging Higher reliability Lower operations cost (power) 6 Disruptive Technologies The effective application of multicore and/or virtualization technology is necessary to address these constraints and demands

7 Multicore and Virtualization What are these technologies? What opportunities do these technologies open up? Why are they becoming so important in the embedded device industry now? What is needed to effectively apply these technologies to create better devices? 7

8 Multicore Multicore combines two or more independent cores into a single package composed of a single integrated circuit (IC) Max. Freq 80% Max Dual Core Does this mean your application will perform 1.6 times faster? See Amdahl s Law Performance Power 8

11 Drivers for Multicore and/or Virtualization Primary Driver Performance Consolidation Technology Application Single core to multicore Multicore to multi-multicore Multiprocessing to multicore Multiprocessing to virtualized (single or multicore) Multiple computers to virtualized (single or multicore) Previous Barrier Requiring Separation Different OS requirements (RTOS/HMI) Specialized hardware (CPU/ASIC/FPGA) Safe and non-safe subsystems Secure and non-secure subsystems GPL and non-gpl subsystems 11 Adoption of multicore and virtualization open up related opportunities to do the following: Leverage existing software in the form of legacy, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), and open source Improve reliability of systems

12 Multicore Software Platform (Supervised AMP) Characteristics Driver could be performance, multiprocessing consolidation, and/or reduction of specialized hardware Protection via supervisor Benefits Legacy reuse Scalability Utilize specialized hardware with tool support Multi-OS (specialized, innovation) Reliability (Isolation/Restart) Control Plane Data Plane (WR NAE*) Data Plane (WR NAE*) Data Plane (WR NAE*) WR Linux or VxWorks WRE WRE WRE Wind River Hypervisor (as Supervisor) Core 0 Core 1 Core 2 Core n Multicore Processor (4, 8, 16+ Cores) Run-Time Platform R NAE: Network acceleration engines RE: 12 Wind River Executive

13 Multicore Software Platform (Virtualized) Characteristics Consolidation/migration-focused Multi-OS Real-time, general, other Full protection via hypervisor Certification possible Benefits Legacy reuse Multi-OS (specialized, innovation) Reliability Boot time Cost (COGS, power) Safe/Secure/GPL Isolation App 1 OS 1 App 2 OS 2 Virtual Board Application Wind River Hypervisor Single or Multicore Run-Time Platform 13

14 Multicore Run-Time Support Operating System Choices Intercore Communication Linux SMP/AMP VxWorks SMP/AMP Other or None SMP, AMP, and Virtualization Distributed Shared Memor Scalable Virtualization Support Multicore Enabled Networking Fully Virtualized Virtual Boards Virtualized Shared Devices Fault Isolation Loader Offloading: Forwarding, Crypto, Etc. 14

15 Multicore Tools Support Prototyping and Simulation System Monitors and Analyzers View Asynchronous Event and Monitor Core Utilization Debugging Multiple Contexts On-Chip Debugging 15 Workbench Debugger

16 Multicore Paradox Benefits Performance Consolidation Reduced cost Reduced power Wind River Multicore Software Maximizes the potential benefits (optimization/flexibility) Minimizes or alleviates the concerns (reduce risk) Concerns Increased complexity (costs, time-to-market) Quality/reliability Performance 16

17 A Comprehensive Solution for Multicore Runtime Multi-OS VxWorks, Wind River Linux, other OS/executive Multi-Configuration- SMP, samp virtualization, offload Tools Prototype Analyze Diagnose Test Silicon Optimized Education and Professional Services Training 350 engineers Integration System design Mentoring System integration Future-Proof Only Wind River provides the breadth and flexibility to maximize the benefits of multicore while minimizing the risks 17

18 Summary Multicore and virtualization technologies are creating an inflection point in the device industry There is no single solution for all situations; you need breadth and flexibility The companies that leverage these technologies most effectively are able to compete and differentiate 18
