Title:

A Many-Core realtime OS (MCOS)

Abstract:

Multicore processors are becoming popular not only in smart phones but also in other embedded applications. Now from cloud servers to battery powered handheld embedded devices, number of cores are further increasing and manycore chips with more than four cores often found in current multicore chips. The increased number of cores poses new challanges to OS, as it is no longer able to extend a single-core based monolithic architecture. This presentaiton discuss the manycore challanges and how recent researches including Many-Core realtime OS (MCOS) by the author are dealing with them. The architecture and basic design principles of MCOS are introduced.
