Tricore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TriCore is the name of a multicore-processor design by Infineon Technologies. It's a 3-in-1 architecture with Real-time benefits of a Microcontroller, computational power of a DSP and & price/performance ratio benefit of a RISC based load-store computing system. It also has a second Peripheral Control Processor (PCP) inside to handle data moving tasks and off-loading CPU load for simpler functions.
[edit] BEAM robotics
In BEAM robotics, Tricore is a Nv network loop-topology with three Nv neurons. There are grounded tricores and suspended tricores. The circuit (or a neural network of the artificial neurons) is used to simulate biological neuron behaviors.
