White Paper: Finding Concurrency Errors with GrammaTech Static Analysis

The industry has placed a big bet on future single-chip performance gains coming from increasing core counts, but this will only be a winning wager if software can be programmed to take advantage of parallel processors. Unfortunately, concurrent programming is difficult. However, common concurrency pitfalls can be avoided through static analysis with GrammaTech CodeSonar, which can help find such defects without executing the program.

White Paper: Developing Software in a Multicore and Multiprocessor World

White Paper: Cutting-edge multicore development techniques for the next wave of electronics products

This paper discusses cutting-edge software development methods that enable software development teams to leverage new multicore technology, including an automated way to reuse single-core software for complex multi-core systems.

Multicore architectures can become exponentially complex as the number of cores increases from two to four to thirty-two different cores. Meeting time-to-market requirements often means utilizing an organization’s existing software code even though existing code is mostly single-core source code and not optimized for multicore technology. The only way to handle the complexity is through automation and with a higher-level language that allows software deployment to be automated to different cores.
