Design Space Exploration and its Visualization in AUTOFOCUS3

چکیده
Software-intensive embedded systems are characterized by an increasing number of features that implement complex safety-critical functionalities. These systems are more and more developed in a model-based fashion that has been considered as a central design approach to deal with the increase in software complexity. These kinds of embedded systems always require multiple constraints both functional and non-functional ones. AUTOFOCUS3 is a model-based development framework using tightly integrated models that enable to perform design space exploration for multi-criteria problems. Finding suitable deployments, meaning the (efficient) assignment of software components to hardware components, is one of these problems. This paper illustrates how such a Design Space Exploration approach in a model-based framework can support the system designer in a (semi-) automatic way, enabling to compare different valid design solutions, w.r.t. a set of given system requirements. We propose a visualization technique to efficiently guide the system designer through such a calculated solutions space. The presented approach has been implemented in the AutoFOCUS3 framework.

Software-intensive embedded systems are characterized by an increasing number of features that implement complex functionalities. To effectively manage this complexity, development processes in general, and model-based approaches in particular, support the development of such systems as model-based approaches have been considered a central design approach to deal with increasing complexity in s...
متن کاملA Case for Visualization-Integrated System-Level Design Space Exploration
Design space exploration plays an essential role in the system-level design of embedded systems. It is imperative therefore to have efficient and effective exploration tools in the early stages of design, where the design space is largest. System-level simulation frameworks that aim for early design space exploration create large volumes of simulation data in exploring alternative architectural...
متن کاملVisualization of Computer Architecture Simulation Data for System-Level Design Space Exploration
System-level computer architecture simulations create large volumes of simulation data to explore alternative architectural solutions. Interpreting and drawing conclusions from this amount of simulation results can be extremely cumbersome. In other domains that also struggle with interpreting large volumes of data, such as scientific computing, data visualization is an invaluable tool. Such vis...
متن کاملTechniques and Visualization Approaches for Analyzing Local and Global Pareto Optimal Sets in Multi-Objective Design Space Exploration
VMODEX is an interactive visualization tool to support system-level Design Space Exploration (DSE) of MPSoC architectures. It provides insight into the search process of Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) that are typically used in the DSE process, and it facilitates the analysis of the DSE results. In this paper we extend VMODEX to enable designers to evaluate and compare the prop...
