Hardware/software codesign investigates the concurrent design of hardware and software
components of complex electronic systems. It tries to exploit the synergy of hardware and …

With ever-increasing system complexities, all major semiconductor roadmaps have
identified the need for moving to higher levels of abstraction in order to increase productivity …

The last line of defense in the cache hierarchy before going to off-chip memory is very critical
in chip multiprocessors (CMPs) from both the performance and power perspectives. We …

Daedalus is a system-level design flow for the design of multiprocessor system-on-chip (MP-
SoC) based embedded multimedia systems. It offers a fully integrated tool-flow in which …

Domain-specific SoCs (DSSoCs) are an attractive solution for domains with extremely
stringent power, performance, and area constraints. However, DSSoCs suffer from two …

A novel design space exploration approach is proposed that enables a concurrent
optimization of the topology, the process binding, and the communication routing of a …

SystemCoDesigner is an ESL tool developed at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg,
Germany. SystemCoDesigner offers a fast design space exploration and rapid prototyping of …

In this paper, we propose a generalized clustering approach for static data flow subgraphs
mapped onto individual processors in Multi-Processor System on Chips (MPSoCs). The goal …

Phase change memory (PCM) has emerged as a promising technology for main memory
due to many advantages, such as better scalability, non-volatility and fast read access …

Multiprocessor System-on-Chips (MPSoCs) are nowadays widely used, but the problem of
their software development persists to be one of the biggest challenges for developers …
