Multiprocessor System-on-Chip ( MPSoC ) —A chip-on-chip ( SoC ) system containing multiple processors , typically designed for embedded systems . It is used by platforms containing several, usually heterogeneous , computational elements with specific functionalities reflecting their probable scope, memory hierarchy ( and DMA are often used) and I / O components . All of these components are connected to each other using an .
These architectures meet the operational needs of multimedia applications, telecommunications architectures, network security and other applications, limiting power consumption through the use of specialized computing elements and architecture.
