Multicore processor: Internal structure, architecture, issues, challenges, scheduling strategies and performance

The challenges of multicore systems in the present scenario are increased demand of high computing and reduced battery power. Multicore processing is increasing rapidly as the single core processors are unable to meet the demands of highly advanced time critical applications. The proposed paper discusses the basic internal structure, architectural design, issues and challenges of multicore processor. Further the scheduling techniques for multicore processor and the factors affecting their performance are being discussed in the paper giving a complete understanding of the multicore processors.
