Design Space Exploration for Hardware/Software Codesign of Multiprocessor Systems

چکیده
In this paper, we present a new methodology to rapidly explore the large design space encountered in hardware/software systems. The proposed methodology is based on a fast and accurate estimation approach. It has been implemented as an extension to a hardware/software codesign flow to enable the exploration of a large number of multiprocessor architecture solutions from the very start of the design process. The effectiveness of this approach is illustrated by a significant application example.

متن کاملToward Fast and Accurate Architecture Exploration in a Hardware/Software Codesign Flow
– Embedded systems design combines software implementations running on an on-chip processor and dedicated hardware components. It also introduces IP-components (Intellectual Property) to be reused and integrated in Systems-on-a-Chip (SoCs). This means a tremendous paradigm shift from the traditional system design. This paper introduces an embedded systems design flow in which the major challeng...
متن کاملHardware/Software Codesign of the Stanford FLASH Multiprocessor
Hardware/software codesign is a methodology for solving design problems in systems with processors or embedded controllers where the design requirements mandate a functionality and performance level for the system, independent of the hardware and software boundary. In addition to the challenges of functional correctness and total system performance, design time is often a critical factor. To de...

متن کاملCombining Virtual Benchmarking with Rapid System Prototyping for Real-Time Embedded Multiprocessor Signal Processing System Codesign
The codesign of embedded real-time signal processing systems is complex. The use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) multiprocessor (MP) hardware and software can reduce codesign complexity. Further complexity reduction can be obtained with emerging rapid system prototyping (RSP) frameworks, which can generate deployable code by leveraging vendor communication and computation libraries. However,...
