Model-Driven Design-Space Exploration for Embedded Systems: The Octopus Toolset
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complexity of today’s embedded systems and their development trajectories requires a systematic, model-driven design approach, supported by tooling wherever possible. Only then, development trajectories become manageable, with high-quality, cost-effective results. This paper introduces the Octopus Design-Space Exploration (DSE) toolset that aims to leverage existing modeling, analysis, and DSE tools to support model-driven DSE for embedded systems. The current toolset integrates Uppaal and CPN Tools, and is centered around the DSE Intermediate Representation (DSEIR) that is specifically designed to support DSE. The toolset architecture allows: (i) easy reuse of models between different tools, while providing model consistency, and the combined use of these tools in DSE; (ii) domain-specific abstractions to support different application domains and easy reuse of tools across domains.

Model-Driven Design-Space Exploration for Software-Intensive Embedded Systems
The complexity of today’s embedded systems is increasing rapidly. Ever more functionality is realised in software, for reasons of cost and flexibility. This leads to many implementation alternatives that vary in functionality, performance, hardware, etc. To cope with this complexity, systematic development support during the early phases of design is needed. Model-driven development provides th...

Improvements in system cost, size, performance, power dissipation, and design turnaround time are the key benefits offered by System-on-Chip designs. However they come at the cost of an increased complexity and long development cycles. Integrating reconfigurable cores offers a way to increase their flexibility and lifespan. However the integration of embedded reconfigurable units poses a number...
متن کاملThe COMPLEX methodology for UML/MARTE Modeling and design space exploration of embedded systems
The design of embedded systems is being challenged by their growing complexity and tight performance requirements. This paper presents the COMPLEX UML/MARTE Design Space Exploration methodology, an approach based on a novel combination of Model Driven Engineering (MDE), Electronic System Level (ESL) and design exploration technologies. The proposed framework enables capturing the set of possibl...
متن کاملA Framework for System-Level Modeling and Simulation of Embedded Systems Architectures
The high complexity of modern embedded systems impels designers of such systems to model and simulate system components and their interactions in the early design stages. It is therefore essential to develop good tools for exploring a wide range of design choices at these early stages, where the design space is very large. This paper provides an overview of our system-level modeling and simulat...
