| Abstract |
Managing application layer shared resources on a multicore chip can be challenging. Required features include synchronization primitives, memory allocation and management, and access to metadata about the multicore chip. While most operating systems provide rich features for resource management, many programmers must work with systems that comprise multiple operating systems. This can be because the cores have different instruction sets, because multiple chips are involved, because memory is not uniformly accessible, or because the application requirements necessitate multiple operating systems instances or even multiple different operating systems. The Multicore Association has defined a resource API that can provide these features as well as promote application portability. |
