Multicore OS Scalability Research

[karthikvm]

Hi,

I am pursuing Mulitcore OS scalability research. Here I study the scalability issues faced by mordern OS on the future multicore processors. My question is since Epiphany is called a co-processor, does the OS code run on them or only in the ARM main processor. Does Epiphany is used to run the tasks allocated to it my ARM main processor or can it run as a independent processor on its own? Kindly clarify my doubts.

Thanks,
karthik
