Modern system-on-chip (SoC) design shows a clear trend toward integration of multiple
processor cores on a single chip. Designing a multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSOC) …

This paper gives an overview of methods used for design space exploration (DSE) of micro-
architectures and systems. The DSE problem generally considers two orthogonal issues:(I) …

Over the last decade, advances in the semiconductor fabrication process have led to the
realization of true system-on-a-chip devices. But the theories, methods and tools for …

Platforms have become an important concept in the design of electronic systems. We
present here the motivations behind the interest shown and the challenges that we have to …

Rapid growth in the complexity of system-on-chips is being accompanied by increasing
volume and diversity of on-chip communication traffic, which in turn, is driving the …

Embedded systems combine a processor with dedicated logic to meet design specifications
at a reasonable cost. The attempt to amalgamate two distinct design environments …

Publisher Summary A programming model inevitably balances a programmer's two
competing needs: desire for ease of programming and the requirement for efficient …

Complex control systems are heterogeneous, in the sense of discrete computer-based
controllers interacting with continuous physical plants, regular data sampling interleaving …

As both the ITRS and the Medea+ DA Roadmaps have highlighted, early performance
estimation is an essential step in any SoC design methodology based on International …
