At the frame of the eMuCo research, "targeted execution enabling power saving" was presented at 9th International Forum on Embedded MPSoC and Multicore in Savannah, Georgia, USA

The growing demand of data processing at low power cost brings scalable parallel hardware architecture in combination with virtualization techniques on the scene. In this sense, the eMuCo partner, ARM, presented how the right selection of heterogeneous multi-core hardware architecture configuration with uniform ISA but different silicon area, power consumption and processing power in combination with the appropriate software stack to handle it, as the eMuCo software platform can impact the resource-efficiency in respect to power consumption and computational power. "ARM has for a long time provided 'right-sized' processors for a specific design", said John Goodacre, Director - Program Management at ARM, one of the main players in the exploration of multi-core software architectures in the FP7 project eMuCo. "In considering the software workloads typified within the eMuCo research, it was clear that such diversity would also soon exist within a single computational platform".

MPSoC is one of the main events in the world to bring together many leading thinkers on the future of SoC design. It was a great opportunity to bring the eMuCo research to prominent experts in multiprocessor SoCs, from academia as well as industry.
