Abstract: Multi-core processors have emerged as the major trend in computing systems and become a hot area of embedded system.A parallel software model for embedded multi-core processor is proposed to solve the problem that traditional serial software cannot meet the requirements of multi-core processor very well.According to the researches on architecture of embedded asymmetric multi-core processors and parallel software models,a hybrid parallel component-based software model is presented to make full use of computing resources of the embedded asymmetric multi-core processor to gain higher performance.
