Abstract:
In the midst of the huge development in processors industry as a response to the
increasing demand for high-speed processors manufacturers were able to achieve
the goal of producing the required processors, but this industry disappointed hopes,
because it faced problems not amenable to solution, such as complexity, hard
management and large consumption of energy. These problems forced the
manufacturers to stop the focus on increasing the speed of processors and go
toward parallel processing to increase performance. This eventually produced
multicore processors with high-performance, if used properly. Unfortunately, until
now, these processors did not use as it should be used; because of lack support of
operating system and software applications. The purpose of this research is to
analyze and identify the challenges faced by multicore processors operating
systems.
