Apitronix Semiconductor
Silicon solutions to embedded software pain
Apitronix Tasklet Processors™ are a new class of microprocessor developed specifically for embedded workloads. As computation has evolved to multicore architectures and software to move forward, this approach has proved challenging for the particular needs of embedded software. Apitronix is developing a novel chip, bus and toolchain that harnesses the power of many tiny cores, allowing them to work together coperatively. This makes it easy to develop complex embedded software applications, reducing bugs, speeding time to market and introducing new supply chain flexibility.
Tasklets and the Apitronix Tasklet Procesor
With Apitronix, complex embedded applications are constructed from many Tasklets, each of which can run independently on its own dedicated 32 bit processor core.
They can run independently because of the unique messaging bus that allows guaranteed communication between the Tasklets.
Apitronix is building a Tasklet Store of thousands of tasklets to implement a range of functions, from USB and Ethernet to display drivers.
Users can build applications by selecting Tasklets and connecting them with messaging contracts that are enforced in hardware.
- Simpler development process
- Reduced faults, more confidence to ship products
- Reduced development time
- Flexibility to replace components
- Integrate more functions, reduce bill-of-materials
