May/June 2009 Guest Editors’ Introduction: Embedded Multicore Processors and Systems Markus Levy and Thomas M. Conte At the highest level, embedded multicore can be defined as a technology, a methodology, and a business and research opportunity. Building a multicore-enabled embedded system requires system developers to leverage a combination of these factors. Furthermore, unlike desktop PC or server applications, multicore devices used in embedded systems are as diverse as the stars in the universe. Well, maybe not quite that diverse, but the point is that there are many potential approaches to solving the numerous multicore-related issues. The articles in this special issue of IEEE Micro on embedded multicore processors and systems represent a small sampling of these issues.
