Communication synthesis and HW ISW integration for Embedded System Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The implementation of codesign applications generally requiresthe use of heterogeneous resources (e.g., processor cores, hardware accelerators) in one system. Inteifacing hardware and software components together and providing communications between them are particularly error proned and time consuming tasks. Hence, on the basisof a generic architecturewe propose an extended communicationsynthesis method that provides characterization of communications and their implementation schemein the target architecture. This method takes place after partitioning and scheduling and can constitute the basis of a back end of a codesign framework leading to HW/SWintegration.

A comprehensive integration infrastructure for embedded system design
A System-on-a-Chip (SoC) is the most successful example of how the evolution of the chip integration technology allows the manufacture of complex embedded systems. However, the bulk of the design effort, to efficiently combine the HW and SW components in a SoC, still resides in the HW/SW interfacing architecture. A good HW/SW integration strategy has a positive impact either in performance, eff...
متن کاملAutomated Design Space Exploration on System Level for Embedded Systems
The design of embedded systems has to address several interacting design dimensions to implement parallelism, distribution over different locations, hard real-time requirements and design space exploration today. Thus a structured design process has to deal with heterogeneous requirements and restrictions. The integration of dedicated tasks for HW-design and SW-design as well as real-time opera...
متن کاملA software integration approach for designing and assessing dependable embedded systems
Embedded systems increasingly entail complex issues of hardware–software (HW–SW) co-design. As the number and range of SW functional components typically exceed the finite HW resources, a common approach is that of resource sharing (i.e., the deployment of diverse SW functionalities onto the same HW resources). Consequently, to result in ameaningful co-design solution, one needs to factor the i...
متن کاملEnergy-Conscious HW ISW -Partitioning of Embedded Systems: A Case Study on an MPEG-2 Encoder
Energy dissipation is a hot topic in the design of-especially mobile embedded systems. This is because applications like digital video cameras, cellular phones etc. draw their currentfrom batteries that spend a limited amount of energy only. In this paper we show that energy-conscious HW/SWpartitioning can lead to drastic reductions of energy dissipation of a whole embedded system. Subject of i...
متن کاملApplication of the object-oriented principles for hardware and embedded system design
As the complexity of hardware (HW) and embedded system design is constantly increasing, the researchers are seeking to develop new more abstract and productive design methods or adapt the existing ones from other domains such as software design. This paper addresses the problem of using the object-oriented (OO) design techniques in HW domain. The main OO design techniques are as follows: abstra...
