Paperback. Multi-Core ARM Processors: Parallel Programming for High-Performance Embedded Systems Michael SOUVALLIn an era where single-core performance has plateaued and embedded applications demand more intelligence, lower power, and stricter timing guarantees, multi-core ARM architectures have become the foundation of modern embedded design. Yet most resources treat parallelism as a desktop/server topic ignoring the brutal constraints of real embedded systems: microsecond deadlines, microamp budgets, thermal walls, safety certification, security boundaries, and the need for reliability that lasts years in the field.This book bridges that gap.Written by an engineer who has shipped multi-core designs across bare-metal Cortex-M, RTOS-based MCUs, and Linux Cortex-A SoCs, it delivers a complete, battle-tested progression from architecture fundamentals to production-grade parallel systems.You will learn how to: Understand ARM multi-core realities: Cortex-M symmetry, big.LITTLE heterogeneity, cache coherency costs, weak memory orderingChoose the right concurrency model: shared-memory vs message-passing, task vs data vs pipeline parallelismMaster synchronization: atomics, barriers, spinlocks vs blocking, avoiding races/deadlocksBuild bare-metal and RTOS multi-core code: boot, inter-core communication, affinity, deterministic schedulingUse POSIX threads and OpenMP effectively in embedded Linux with affinity, tuning, and pitfallsOptimize memory and cache performance: eliminate false sharing, tile loops, prefetch, profile missesDesign power-aware systems: DVFS, core gating, energy-efficient scheduling, balancing throughput vs battery lifeDebug and profile rigorously: jitter measurement, tracing, perf, powertop, interpreting multi-core metricsApply real-world patterns through case studies: sensor pipelines, image processing, signal processing, networking accelerationNavigate advanced topics: heterogeneous systems, accelerators/NPUs, virtualization, safety-critical/secure designKnow exactly when NOT to use parallelism and how to avoid common fatal mistakesEvery chapter includes code that has shipped in production, measurements taken in real environments (jitter, power, misses, contention), and the failures that taught the lessons. This is not abstract theory or server-side parallelism recycled for MCUs it is embedded-first guidance for engineers who must deliver reliable, efficient, secure, high-performance systems under tight constraints.If you design, prototype, or ship multi-core ARM-based embedded products from IoT nodes to industrial controllers to edge AI devices this book will help you build systems that scale, survive, and don't surprise you in the field This item is printed on demand.

In an era where single-core performance has plateaued and embedded applications demand more intelligence, lower power, and stricter timing guarantees, multi-core ARM architectures have become the foundation of modern embedded design. Yet most resources treat parallelism as a desktop/server topic ignoring the brutal constraints of real embedded systems: microsecond deadlines, microamp budgets, thermal walls, safety certification, security boundaries, and the need for reliability that lasts years in the field.
This book bridges that gap.
Written by an engineer who has shipped multi-core designs across bare-metal Cortex-M, RTOS-based MCUs, and Linux Cortex-A SoCs, it delivers a complete, battle-tested progression from architecture fundamentals to production-grade parallel systems.
You will learn how to:
- Understand ARM multi-core realities: Cortex-M symmetry, big.LITTLE heterogeneity, cache coherency costs, weak memory ordering
- Choose the right concurrency model: shared-memory vs message-passing, task vs data vs pipeline parallelism
- Master synchronization: atomics, barriers, spinlocks vs blocking, avoiding races/deadlocks
- Build bare-metal and RTOS multi-core code: boot, inter-core communication, affinity, deterministic scheduling
- Use POSIX threads and OpenMP effectively in embedded Linux with affinity, tuning, and pitfalls
- Optimize memory and cache performance: eliminate false sharing, tile loops, prefetch, profile misses
- Design power-aware systems: DVFS, core gating, energy-efficient scheduling, balancing throughput vs battery life
- Debug and profile rigorously: jitter measurement, tracing, perf, powertop, interpreting multi-core metrics
- Apply real-world patterns through case studies: sensor pipelines, image processing, signal processing, networking acceleration
- Navigate advanced topics: heterogeneous systems, accelerators/NPUs, virtualization, safety-critical/secure design
- Know exactly when NOT to use parallelism and how to avoid common fatal mistakes
If you design, prototype, or ship multi-core ARM-based embedded products from IoT nodes to industrial controllers to edge AI devices this book will help you build systems that scale, survive, and don’t surprise you in the field

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
