This book presents a new set of embedded system design techniques called multidimensional data flow, which combine the various benefits offered by existing methodologies such as block-based system design, high-level simulation, system analysis and polyhedral optimization. It describes a novel architecture for efficient and flexible high-speed communication in hardware that can be used both in manual and automatic system design and that offers various design alternatives, balancing achievable throughput with required hardware size. This book demonstrates multidimensional data flow by showing its potential for modeling, analysis, and synthesis of complex image processing applications. These applications are presented in terms of their fundamental properties and resulting design constraints. Coverage includes a discussion of how far the latter can be met better by multidimensional data flow than alternative approaches. Based on these results, the book explains the principles of fine-grained system level analysis and high-speed communication synthesis. Additionally, an extensive review of related techniques is given in order to show their relation to multidimensional data flow.

Design of Image Processing Embedded Systems Using Multidimensional Data Flow

This book covers two main topics: First, novel fast and flexible simulation techniques for modern heterogeneous NoC-based multi-core architectures. These are implemented in the full-system simulator called InvadeSIM and designed to study the dynamic behavior of hundreds of parallel application programs running on such architectures while competing for resources. Second, a novel actor-oriented programming library called ActorX10, which allows to formally model parallel streaming applications by actor graphs and to analyze predictable execution behavior as part of so-called hybrid mapping approaches, which are used to guarantee real-time requirements of such applications at design time independent from dynamic workloads by a combination of static analysis and dynamic embedding.

Modeling and Simulation of Invasive Applications and Architectures

Christian Haubelt

Systematische Einführung in die Verfahren für den Entwurf eingebetteter Systeme. Diese sind in einen technischen Kontext eingebettet und zugleich hinsichtlich ihrer Aufgaben, Fähigkeiten, Schnittstellen und Einsatzgebiete spezialisiert. Die Anforderung: Hardware- und Softwarekomponenten müssen reibungslos miteinander kooperieren (z.B. Automobil- und Unterhaltungselektronik/Kommunikations- und Medizintechnik). Die Autoren beschreiben alle Verfahren: einheitlich, für Hard- und Software, von der Modellierung bis zur Codegenerierung. Unentbehrliches Wissen für Studierende und wertvolles Referenz- und Nachschlagewerk für Forscher und Entwickler.
