Each of the analysed tools implements its own version of the master-worker paradigm at a very low-level of abstraction, specifically using blocking locks of the Posix Threads library or processor-specific atomic instructions.
All QF code is written in portable ANSI-C with processor-specific, compiler-specific, and operating system-specific code abstracted into a clearly defined platform abstraction layer (PAL).
For this reason, today the applications running on the vector DSPs are still coded (or at least optimized) manually: applications can be written in C augmented with so called intrinsic, which are processor-specific complex instructions.
The other approaches discussed in this article are instead affected by lack of portability of the code between them: the DSP-based solutions are programmed via C extended with intrinsics, thus processor-specific assembly instructions.
He also attempts to create a legal distinction between data being "processed" (i.e. access being granted by the Trust to DeepMind as the data processor) and specific patient data being accessed by someone using the Streams app — i.e. at the point of patient care occurring.

There are numerous options for designers in selecting a hardware platform for custom electronics design: embedded processors, Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), Programmable Micro-processors (PICs), FPGAs, and Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs).
Specifically, this can include drivers for the master processor architecture-specific functionality, memory and memory management drivers, bus initialization and transaction drivers, and I/O initialization and control drivers both at the board and master CPU level.
Moreover, third party vendors offer soft-processors targeting specific domains.
