Whitepaper: An overview of TI's Multicore Software Development Kit

Multicore digital signal processors (DSPs) are starting to find increasing acceptance in various market segments, including test and measurement, mission critical, industrial automation, medical and high-end imaging equipment, and high-performance computing. As processing demands of these applications continue to increase, Texas Instruments has responded with a new generation of scalable, high-performance TMS320C66x multicore DSPs. The C66x devices are based on TI’s KeyStone architecture which is the platform for true multicore innovation by providing full processing capability to every core in a multicore device. TI’s C66x high performance DSPs include pin-compatible and scalable devices available in one, two, four and eight-core configurations.
