A primer on mobile systems used for heterogeneous computing
August 5, 2015
In the mobile and embedded market, the design constraints of electronic products can sometimes be seen as tight and contradictory: the market demands higher performance yet lower power consumption, reductions in cost but shorter time-to-market.
These constraints have created a trend for more specialized hardware designs that fit a particular application; if each task is well matched to a functional unit, fewer transistors are wasted and power efficiency is better. As a result, application processors have become increasingly heterogeneous over time, integrating multiple components into a single System-on-Chip (SoC).
