Managing complexity in heterogeneous system specification, simulation, and synthesis

چکیده
System-level design is characterized by a behavioral specification and heterogeneous hardware/software implementations. Exploring the design space is essential for good design. Specifying and managing complex design flows, tracking dependencies and tool invocations, and maintaining consistency of design data and flows are key issues that enable efficient design space exploration. In order to manage the complexity of this design process, an infrastructure that manages these issues, transparent to the user, is presented. These concepts have been implemented in the Ptolemy environment within a framework called DesignMaker. An example design flow for multiprocessor synthesis is presented in some detail to illustrate the features of DesignMaker. The end objective of the framework is to facilitate a flexible system-level codesign assistant.

Improved numerical simulation of the low temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in a trickle bed reactor
Abstract Gas to liquid (GTL) process involves heterogeneous catalytic chemical reactions that convert synthesis gas to hydrocarbons and water vapor. A three phase reactor, called Low temperature Fischer-Tropsch (LTFT) is commonly applied for GTL process. In this reactor the gaseous phase includes the synthesis gas, light hydrocarbons and water vapor, the liquid phase is a mixture of the h...
متن کاملTowards closing the specification gap by integrating algorithm-level and system-level design
Modern Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) designs face challenges in tremendous complexity imposed by the wide range of functional and architectural requirements. Design automation methodologies address some of the complexity through design abstractions from two different angles, namely functionality and architecture. Algorithm-Level Design (ALD), such as Simulink, focuses on managing the fu...

This paper has been devoted to the design of a distributed consensus control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems in the strict-feedback form. The communication between the agents has been described by a directed graph. Radial-basis function neural networks have been used for the approximation of the uncertain and heterogeneous dynamics of the followers as well as the effect o...
