We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "SMP",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Multicore processors aim for automotive multimedia from
Renesas Technology Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "Each device incorporates two Renesas Technology SH-4A high-performance CPU cores to achieve superior processing power of up to 1920MIPS".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Oscilloscopes turn to FlexRay analysis from
Agilent Technologies Europe: "Allows automotive designers using embedded MCUs to verify proper signal integrity of their FlexRay signals and effectively debug protocol and signal integrity issues".
In December 2007, we covered the news from LeCroy
concerning its STX-460
- take a look at Emulators comply with SAS and SATA protocols
which says: "Emulators are the industry's first to enable developers to generate valid and invalid traffic at datarates up to 6Gbit/s".
Take a look also at the news release from National Instruments, Development environment expands multicore support,
as well as Device software expands multicore coverage from Green Hills Software,
and RTOS makes the most of multicore processing from LynuxWorks.
