# XCORE Platform

The xcore platform provides a range of powerful, flexible and economic crossover processors for the use in wide-ranging applications. The XCore platform provides:

- Fast compute

- Flexibility

- Economy

- Scalablity

- Security

- Fast time to market

## Architecture & Hardware Guide

At the heart of the platform, the Architecture & Hardware Guide describes the multicore processors. Multiple xcore processors can themselves be “networked” together with seamless communications.

## Programming Guide

The Programming Guide describes how logical cores of an xcore processor can act independently to behave like highly responsive hardware peripherals, or can work as a team to apply all available CPU cycles onto a single compute task.

## XTC Tools

The xcore processors are accompanied by the XTC Tools. As well as providing a powerful toolchain for application development, the toolkit assists with application deployment and upgrade.
