Fitting Architecture to Application: Choosing between SMP and RACE
Overview SMP is today perhaps the most popular multiprocessing paradigm essentially because it is the architecture that serves the need of the large general-purpose commercial market. SMP systems are not good platforms for high-performance real-time applications. This is primarily because the design choices required to support the SMP programming model on multiple processors are choices that prevent developers of real-time systems from using the hardware to its fullest capacity. RACE systems offer the best price/performance of any comparable system in their target market. The COTS building blocks that comprise Mercury's RACE switched-fabric architecture provide an extremely cost-effective way to develop, deploy, and support compact, low-power, real-time stand-alone and embedded systems that deliver supercomputer-like compute power, while delivering unparalleled I/O bandwidth, response, and determinism.
