FlexSoC Past, Present & Future

The FlexSoC program, launched in 2003, aims to develop new architectural techniques and pro- gramming models for high performance System on Chip (SoC). The target platforms for FlexSoC are embedded systems such as PDAs and high performance mobile phones. Important properties for embedded systems are long battery life, high performance and the flexibility to adapt to new protocols and standards. This abstract presents some of the work conducted by the participants of the FlexSoC program.
