Introducing the FireCracker!
Based on Analog Devices popular Blackfin embedded processor, Silica has developed the FireCracker Development and Reference Design Platform for audio and video applications. FireCracker is a unique concept of a hybrid between a development board and a reference design that enables design engineers to bring embedded computing solutions from concept to production in record time.

Blending Asymmetric and Symmetric Multiprocessing with a Single OS on ARM11 MPCore
ARM11 MPCore is an excellent multicore processor, appropriate for both SMP and AMP. Many embedded system designs already use the AMP model, either on chip or off chips, so unforeseen design challenges are limited for software developers using AMP model with MPCore. On the other hand, the increasingly demanding applications require more and more CPU power, and the utilization of SMP is soon to become a necessity.

Real-Time and Multimedia Laboratory - Carnegie Mellon
The Real-Time and Multimedia Laboratory in the Department of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University performs research in the domain of real-time and multimedia systems. We propose mathematical models, and validate them by building real systems (operating systems and services), tools and applications. Real-Time Mach is a real-time operating system developed as a flagship product by the Real-Time and Multimedia Laboratory.
