Co-Design Architecture for Reconfigurable Assembly Platforms
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes a new architecture for distributed assembly platforms that is well suited to hardwaresoftware codesign. The key qualitative attribute is the reusability of her atomic architectural units called “assembly actors”(software/hardware devices) due the correlation between actors’ goals and primitive assembly operations. We describe the main components of the codesign architecture and focus on the interfaces between components. The collaborative approach is illustrated using two-robotic axis iteration. Key-Words: Hardware/Software Reusability; Architecture-based System Development; Service-based Collaboration; Intelligent Physical Agents; Agent UML; Assembly Automation

A Novel Approach for Multimedia Rendering Platforms
We introduce a novel approach to implement multimedia rendering platforms, using reconfigurable-oriented hardware/software co-design. Disadvantages of current platforms include a very short obsolescence cycle, communication and computational performance limitations, large sizes of software components, and architectures not prepared to cope with future multimedia requirements. To overcome these,...
متن کاملAn Evolving Curriculum to Match the Evolution of Reconfigurable Computing Platforms
Reconfigurable platforms have evolved from “sea of gates” architectures into diverse System on a Chip (SoC) platforms with embedded processor cores and dedicated hardware components. This evolution has greatly increased the performance of this technology, but creates challenges when teaching the new technology to Computer Science and Electrical Engineering graduate students. Previously, knowled...
متن کاملFormulation of Video Encoding Applications for Heterogeneous Reconfigurable Architectures
Heterogeneous reconfigurable architectures are being used for video encoding applications. During early stages of the design flow, performance estimation due to parallel execution of video encoding applications on heterogeneous platforms is a critical requirement. In this article, we formulate the performance of parallel execution of H.264 video encoding application on a heterogeneous reconfigu...
