  • Abstract
    This report describes the development of a hardware mechanism to improve synchronization in a multicore architecture, using Petri´s formalisms. A module that interfaces with two Microblaze processors is developed. Then it is implemented in a FPGA, thus constituting an heterogeneous multicore system with synchronization capability by hardware.
