Title:

A new way to describe hardware for software tools - SHIM

Abstract:

Multicore and manycore system development often gets sidetracked because development tool vendors and runtime systems for these programs are challenged to support the virtually unlimited number of processor configurations. This presentation describes anew industry standard specification that provides an architecture description that benefits software design. Specifically, the Multicore Association has produced a new standard, called SHIM that provides a common software-hardware interface between the multicore processor hardware and the software tools. The overview of key concepts, the XML schema, and open source reference authoring tools are presented.
