Heterogeneous Computing: When Single Core Isn't Enough

In this video, we dive into heterogeneous computing - using multiple specialized cores instead of one general-purpose processor. We'll explore when single-core systems work fine and when they become the bottleneck.
What you'll learn:

The fundamental blocking problem in single-core systems (with real Arduino example)
How interrupt handling doesn't solve sequential execution issues
What heterogeneous computing actually means (with visual comparisons)
Real chip architectures: Nordic NRF5340, TI TDA4VM, and NXP i.MX RT1170
Performance analysis: 7.7Hz vs 50+Hz - that's 6.5x improvement!
When to choose single-core vs multi-core for your projects
Current trends in embedded computing
