Model-Based Design for Multicore Embedded Targets

Overview

The design of data processing systems is suffering from a huge complexity increase in many industries. On the application side, for instance, trends such as autonomy, or the increasing challenges to guarantee safety and security, require for huge datasets to be processed in real time or near real time. At the same time, the semiconductor industry evolves towards the integration of heterogeneous processors into complex Systems on Chip (SoC). Normally, including multicore clusters and complex interconnects. Designing and mapping complex applications for these new embedded devices, while guaranteeing the necessary safety standards, is becoming a big bottleneck.

In this seminar we will learn how Model-Based Design supports certain aspects like:

• Partitioning of applications into execution units.
  
• Simulation of applications including hardware and software effects.
• Mapping and scheduling tasks into processors
• Generate and test code and use profiling to compare performance.
