Heterogeneous SoC Architectures

چکیده
With increasing embedded application complexity, designers have proposed to introduce new hardware architectures based on heterogeneous processing units on a single chip. For these architectures, the scheduling service of a realtime operating system must be able to assign tasks on different execution resources. This paper presents a model of artificial neural networks used for real-time task scheduling to heterogeneous system-on-chip architectures. Our proposition is an adaptation of the Hopfield model and the main objective concerns the minimization of the neuron number to facilitate future hardware implementation of this service. In fact, to ensure rapid convergence and low complexity, this number must be dramatically reduced. So, we propose new constructing rules to design smaller neural network and we show, through simulations, that network stabilization is obtained without reinitialisation of the network.

Rapid System-Level Performance Evaluation and Optimization for Application Mapping onto SoC Architectures
System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures integrate several heterogeneous components onto a single chip. These components provide various capabilities such as dynamic voltage scaling, reconfiguration, multiple power states, etc. that can be exploited for performance optimization during application design. We propose a Generic Model (GenM) which captures the capabilities of a large class of SoC archite...

متن کاملA framework for safe composition of heterogeneous SOA services in a pervasive computing environment with resource constraints
The Service Oriented Computing (SOC) paradigm, defines services as software artifacts whose implementations are separated from their specifications. Application developers rely on services to simplify the design, reduce the development time and cost. Within the SOC paradigm, different Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) have been developed. These different SOAs provide platform independence, ...
