- The parMERASA project is the response to demands from European avionic, automotive and automation industries for increased performance at reduced costs while maintaining safety levels. Its aim is to stimulate industrial, social and environmental changes by demonstrating the benefits of moving from embedded single core to multi-core processors which can run applications in parallel, speeding up performance and cutting costs.
This report presents requirements for a hard real-time capable multi-core Kernel Library in embedded systems and the transfer to the parMERASA simulator. It shows details of context and memory management, synchronization mechanisms and interrupt handling relating to the Power PC instruction set architecture used by the simulator.
