Multiprocessor Architecture Modeling

Design, evaluate, and implement multiprocessor architecture modeling

Partition algorithms for multicore execution with inter-processor data communication (IPC) and co-processor (control law accelerator) blocks. With processor-in-the-loop (PIL) simulation, you can cross-compile source code on your development computer, and then download and run the object code on the processor in the hardware board.

Map tasks and peripherals in a model to hardware board configurations using Hardware Mapping tool.

Control Law Accelerator in DC-DC Power Conversion Using C2000

Manage the voltage mode control (VMC) algorithm for a closed loop DC-DC power conversion system by using the Control Law Accelerator (CLA). An auxiliary software current protection loop is managed by C2000 CPU. In the TMS320F28379D and similar processor families, the CLAs execute the hard-realtime portions of the algorithm can connect with hardware perhipherals such as ADC's and PWM's. The C2000 CPU is better suited for hard real-time portions of the algorithm that require multitasking, handling of asynchronous events, and communication with other cores. While this example extends the DC-DC buck converter developed in the DC-DC Buck Converter on MCU example, the strategy presented can be applied to any design where a resource intensive hard real-time process executes on the CLA and real-time multi-tasking processes run on C2000 CPU.
