Performance Monitoring and Assessment of Embedded HW/SW Systems
Performance assessment of embedded HW/SW systems built with various types of VLSI components, i.e. heterogeneous multi-processor architectures, is important to help the development of complex real-time applications. To design such a tool, two issues ...
System-Level Synthesis Using Evolutionary Algorithms
In this paper, we consider system-level synthesis as the problem of optimally mapping a task-level specification onto a heterogeneous hardware/software architecture. This problem requires (1) the selection of the architecture (allocation) including ...
Code Optimization Techniques in Embedded DSP Microprocessors
We address the problem of code optimization for embedded DSP microprocessors. Such processors (e.g., those in the TMS320 series) have highly irregular datapaths, and conventional code generation methods typically result in inefficient code. In this ...
Retargetable Code Generation Based on Structural Processor Description
Design automation for embedded systems comprising both hardware and software components demands for code generators integrated into electronic CAD systems. These code generators provide the necessary link between software synthesis tools in HW/SW ...
