There are two sets of posts going out in this series in conjunction with my article on multiprocessing options – the series here and the series in our guest blog. Today’s guest post is from Alan Gatherer, CTO and TI Fellow, High-Performance and Multicore Processing Business, Texas Instruments. I encourage you to read both series of posts as they are intended to be complementary. I am alternating posts between the two series. My next post will expand on multi-domain-based multiprocessing.

If you missed the previous post in this series, check out my comments about aggregate-based multiprocessing in this multiprocessing series.
