Abstract

As embedded system costs are driven further down the learning curve and the demand for faster and more sophisticated processing capabilities increase, it is envisaged that future high performance real-time embedded controllers will need to address a ‘virtual multiprocessor’ environment. Multi-tasking embedded systems will become not only more cost effective for the next generation of embedded control applications but will offer more highly optimised system partitioning to satisfy the needs of embedded system designers well into the next century. Siemens new 32-bit microcontroller-DSP architecture, named TriCore, has been specifically designed to address such future system requirements. TriCore will exploit the advantages of a unified instruction set supporting both control and DSP tasks in a single compact RISC based core and complemented with a rich set of data types and uniform register set.
