Abstract
A multicore interface with dynamic task management capability and a task loading and offloading method thereof are provided. The method disposes a communication interface between a micro processor unit (MPU) and a digital signal processor (DSP) and dynamically manages tasks assigned by the MPU to the DSP. First, an idle processing unit of the DSP is searched, and then one of a plurality of threads of the task is assigned to the processing unit. Finally, the processing unit is activated to execute the thread. Accordingly, the communication efficiency of the multicore processor can be effectively increased while the hardware cost can be saved.
