The high performance Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) currently manufactured by Texas
Instruments are heterogeneous multiprocessor architectures. Programming these …

With security and surveillance, there is an increasing need to process image data efficiently
and effectively either at source or in a large data network. Whilst a Field-Programmable Gate …

Modern embedded systems, to accommodate different applications or functionalities over
the same substrate and provide flexibility at the hardware level, are often resource …

Flexibility and high efficiency are common design drivers in the embedded systems domain.
Coarse-grained reconfigurable coprocessors can tackle these issues, but they suffer of …

The widening of the complexity-productivity gap in application development witnessed in the
last years is becoming an important issue for the developers. New design methods try to …

In this paper we propose a design methodology to partition dataflow applications on a multi
clock domain architecture. This work shows how starting from a high level dataflow …

In this paper we address the problem of translating high-level stream programs, such as
those written in MPEG's RVC-CAL dataflow language, into implementations in …

The possibility of using the increasing computing power available in cloud infrastructures
requires the development of new approaches for application software development and …

Software abstractions are crucial to effectively program heterogeneous Multi-Processor
Systems on Chip (MPSoCs). Prime examples of such abstractions are Kahn Process …

Modern embedded and cyber-physical systems require every day more performance, power
efficiency and flexibility, to execute several profiles and functionalities targeting the ever …
