After the last review meeting on April 16th in Munich, the project reviewers with agreement of the European commission concluded that the project has fully achieved its objectives and technical goals and has even exceeded expectations

The eMuCo project set out through research and practical investigation to demonstrate the premise that MultiCore processors in combination with virtualization technology is the solution for future generations of mobile communication platforms. Only in this combination the power efficiency associated with multicore can be fully harnessed. To the end of the project, eMuCo completed two series of complementary demonstrators to provide a realization of the concepts and application of the research developed within the project: Realization of eMuCo concepts through hardware demonstrators and analysis and investigation through virtual demonstrators. The final outcomes provide the necessary information on the suitability of the MultiCore computing system for future mobile devices which definitely will dominate the markets of consumer electronics and therefore are of fundamental importance for the European industries. Maintaining the leadership in these markets also guarantees technology leadership in many areas as e.g. embedded devices, embedded software, semiconductors and System-on-Chip (SoC) development. The successful developments and technology transfer of the eMuCo project already found its way in today´s MultiCore mobile devices, although predominantly in the high-end segment of smartphones within the computing subsystem for the applications. The significant dissemination activities of all the eMuCo partners paved the way for the developed base technology into the commercial platforms and will soon lead to great acceptance in the whole embedded computing system market. The introduction of higher performance and security in mobile computing systems through the implementation of MultiCore and virtualization will bring unthinkable changes in the services the people can get to increase their life standard as e.g. higher integration between families spread over the world. The eMuCo project has thus been successful in its mission in terms of both technological advancement to enable this as well as social impact.
