AccessCore^® SDK : Manycore programming

The AccessCore^® development environment provides a C-based programming model, which speeds up application development and debug, and allows the developer to take full advantage of the performance of the MPPA^® parallel architecture.

Several programming levels are provided for different user profiles, from Linux support for legacy functions to a unique high level dataflow solution.

Standard GNU GCC 4.5 and GDB technologies are used for compilation & debug. 

All tools are integrated in the industry standard Eclipse 3.x environment.

Linux support for high level functions & C/C++ legacy

For control code requiring moderate performance or re-use of legacy code and protection of past investment:

• Support of industry standard OS: Linux 2.6 Kernel
• Multi-threading capabilities

C-based parallel dataflow programming solution

For algorithms requiring high performance and fast development:

• Core of algorithms in C
• Primitives for “task parallelism” and “data parallelism”
• Automatic mapping on MPPA^® hardware & memory resource sizing
• Automatic task synchronization

C and C++ POSIX programming for composite applications

• POSIX thread library for shared memory parallel programming inside clusters
• POSIX inter-process communication and synchronization between clusters
• Parallel execution and data distribution under manual control

Libraries

For specific compute intensive / critical functions:

• Ready to use software libraries
