Presently, the trend is to increase the number of cores per chip. This growth is appreciated in Multi-Processor System-On-Chips (MPSoC), composed of more cores in heterogeneous and homogeneous architectures in recent years. Thus, the difficulty of verification of this type of system has been great. The hardware/software co-simulation Virtual Platforms (VP) are presented as a perfect solution to address this complexity, allowing verification by simulation/emulation of software and hardware in the same environment. Some works parallelized the software emulator to reduce the verification times. An example of this parallelization is the QEMU (Quick EMUlator) tool. However, there is no solution to synchronize QEMU with the hardware simulator in this new parallel mode. This work analyzes the current software emulators and presents a new method to allow an external synchronization of QEMU in its parallelized mode. Timing details of the cores are taken into account. In addition, performance analysis of the software emulator with the new synchronization mechanism is presented, using: (1) a boot Linux for MPSoC Zynq-7000 (dual-core ARM Cortex-A9) (Xilinx, San Jose, CA, USA); (2) an FPGA-Linux co-simulation of a power grid monitoring system that is subsequently implemented in an industrial application. The results show that the novel synchronization mechanism does not add any appreciable computational load and enables parallelized-QEMU in hardware/software co-simulation virtual platforms.

Produktivitas tanaman kelapa sawit sangat dipengaruhi oleh kualitas benih yang digunakan. Pemakaian benih kelapa sawit bersertifikat dipercayai oleh petani yang kritis dalam memberikan produktivitas tanaman kelapa sawit yang bermutu dan kontinyu. Sikap dan kepuasan petani dalam menggunakan benih kelapa sawit bersertifikat merupakan hal yang perlu dicermati untuk memahami keinginan petani. Penelitian ini dirancang untuk mengamati hal tersebut. Sikap petani dianalisis dengan menggunakan pendekatan multiatribut fishbean sedangkan kepuasan dianalisis dengan menggunakan Important Performance Analysis (IPA) dan Customer Satisfied Index (CSI). Berdasarkan penelitian diketahui bahwa atribut-atribut yang menentukan sikap dan kepuasan petani adalah hasil panen, ketahan terhadap hama dan penyakit, umur tanaman, daya tumbuhbenih, efisiensi penggunaan pupuk, jenis varietas, ukuran benih, sertifikasi benih, harga benih, harga Tandan Buah Segar (TBS), kemudahan dalam akses benih, stok benih, kemudahan dalam menjual TBS, dan promosi toko.Analisis multiatribut Fishbeinmenunjukkan sikap netral terhadap benih kelapa sawit bersertifikat (76 persen). Sementara hasil CSI menunjukkan bahwa 70.04 persen petani merasa puas atas atribut-atribut pada benih kelapa sawit bersertifikat.
