Abstract
The SoC design
paradigm is shifting toward highly parallel multiprocessor
systems, thus pushing the development of new modelling, analysis and
optimization
tools. Modeling and simulation of complex MPSoCs is however only one
facet of the
design technology challenge. Future MPSoCs
will be software dominated, and software development, optimization and
validation will become key enabling technology for advanced
silicon
platforms. This talk will describe a modeling and analysis platform,
coupled
with a complete software development environment for MPSoCs, called
MPARM. Several examples of its usage in hardware and software
analysis
and design space exploration will also be given.
Speaker
Davide Bertozzi got
his PhD from University of Bologna in 2003, and
he currently holds a Post-doc position at
the same University. He has been visiting researcher at
NEC Research
(USA), ST Microelectronics (Italy)
and Philips Research (Holland). His research interests concern
multi-processor
systems-on-chip design,
with particular emphasis on modeling and simulation aspects, as well
as on power and performance
characterization of communication architectures.
