In this paper, we designed a Delayed Dual Core Lock-Step (D-DCLS) processor where two cores operate same instructions with delay and the result is compared to mitigate soft errors and common mode failures in automotive electronic systems. Because D-DCLS does not know which core an error occurred in, each core must be recovered to the point before the error occurred, but complex hardware modifications are required to return all intermediate values on the pipeline stage. In this paper, in order for easy hardware implementation, all register values are saved to a buffer whenever a branch instruction is executed. When an error is detected, the saved register values are automatically restored, and then 'BX LR' instruction is executed to return to the last branch point. The proposed D-DCLS processor was designed using Verilog HDL and was confirmed to continue normal operation after automatically recovering error.

This paper designs Shared Memory on the Dual Core system so that it operates a general System V IPC on the Linux O.S. Shared Memory is the technique that many processes can access to identical memory area. We treat Shared Memory which is SVR in a kernel step. We design a share memory facility of Linux operating system on the Dual Core System. In this paper the suggesting of share memory facility design plan in Dual Core system is enhance the performance in existing an unity processor system as a dual core practical use. We attemp a performance enhance in each CPU for each process which uses a share memory.

This paper designs Shared Memory on the Dual Core system so that it operates a general System V IPC on the Linux O.S. Shared Memory is the technique that many processes can access to identical memory area. We treat Shared Memory in this paper among big two branches of Shared Memory which are SVR in a kernel step format. We design a share memory facility of Linux operating system on the Dual Core System. In this paper the suggesting design plan of share memory facility in Dual Core system is enhancing the performance in existing unity processor system as a dual core practical use. We attempt a performance enhance in each CPU for each process which uses a share memory.

Upcoming ground-breaking applications for always-on tiny interconnected devices steadily demand two-fold features of processor cores: aggressively low power consumption and enhanced performance. We propose implementation of a novel superscalar low-power processor core with a low supply voltage. The core implements intra-core low-power microarchitecture with minimal performance degradation in instruction fetch, branch prediction, scheduling, and execution units. The inter-core lockstep not only detects malfunctions during low-voltage operation but also carries out software-based recovery. The chip incorporates a pair of cores, high-speed memory, and peripheral interfaces to be implemented with a 65nm node. The processor core consumes only 24mW at 350MHz and 0.68V, resulting in power efficiency of $80{\mu}W/MHz$. The operating frequency of the core reaches 850MHz at 1.2V.

In the AMP(Asymmetric Multiprocessing) based dual core using core-specific operating system in a single processor system, shared memory method is used to send data between processors in dual core. To used shared memory in different operating systems, there is a problem of needing to solving the issue of message communication and synchronization between the two operations systems. In this paper, separate memory controller was used for data sharing between different processor cores in dual core environment. This controller can designate two slave ports to allow simultaneous access from two processors, and in the case of process data simultaneously by two processors, priority order of slave ports is determined through memory mediator. When sending data from A to B processor, SRAM area was logically separated into 8 pages. It allowed using memory area from multiple processes with the size of 4KByte per page, and control register with the size of 4Byte was used to discern the usability of current page.

Recently, the multi-core processor architecture is widely adopted in the embedded processors for enhancing its performance. Multi-core processors are classified either as symmetric or asymmetric. Asymmetric multicore processors are known to score higher performance and more efficient than symmetric multi-core processors. In order to study the performance enhancement of asymmetric multi-core embedded processors over the symmetric ones, the trace-driven simulation has been executed for various asymmetric embedded dual-core, quad-core, octa-core and hexadeca-core processors and compared with the symmetric ones of similar hardware budget using MiBench benchmarks as input.

This paper is to implement MoIP platform to send and receive video and audio at the same time by using high-performance Dual Core Processor. Even if Wall-Pad key component of a home network system is released by using embedded processors, it's lacking of performance in terms of multimedia processing and feature of video telephony through which video and voice are exchanged simultaneously. The main reason could be that embedded processors currently being used do not provide enough performance to support both MoIP call features and various home network features simultaneously. In order to solve these problems, Dual processor could be used, but in the other hands it brings another disadvantage of high cost. Therefore, this study is to solve the home automation features and video telephony features by using Dual Core Processor based on ARM 11 Processor and implement the MoIP Wall-Pad which can reduce the board design costs and component costs, and improve performance. The platform designed and implemented in this paper verified performance of MoIP to exchange the video and voice at the same time under the situation of Ethernet network.

In this paper, shared memory feature was developed in multi-core system with different OS for different processor-specific bus, while conducting an experiment on shared memory feature between the two processors based on embedded Linux system. For the purpose of developing shared memory in dual bus structure, memory controller was used, while managing shared memory segment through list data structure. For AMP multi-core test, Linux OS was installed in 2 processor cores. In addition, it verified the creation and use of shared memory by using kernel module implemented to test shared memory.

This paper describes design of high energy efficiency 32 bit parallel processor core using instruction-levels data gating and dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) techniques. We present instruction-levels data gating technique. We can control activation and switching activity of the function units in the proposed data technique. We present instruction-levels DVS technique without using DC-DC converter and voltage scheduler controlled by the operation system. We can control powers of the function units in the proposed DVS technique. The proposed instruction-levels DVS technique has the simple architecture than complicated DVS which is DC-DC converter and voltage scheduler controlled by the operation system and a hardware implementation is very easy. But, the energy efficiency of the proposed instruction-levels DVS technique having dual-power supply is similar to the complicated DVS which is DC-DC converter and voltage scheduler controlled by the operation system. We simulate the circuit simulation for running test program using Spectra. We selected reduced power supply to 0.667 times of the supplied power supply. The energy efficiency of the proposed 32 bit parallel processor core using instruction-levels data gating and DVS techniques can improve about 88.4% than that of the 32 bit parallel processor core without using those. The designed high energy efficiency 32 bit parallel processor core can utilize as the coprocessor processing massive data at high speed.
