A configurable platform for MPSoCs based on application specific instruction set processors
D. Ayachi, Yvon Savaria, Claude Thibeault · 2009
In this paper, we propose a configurable platform that supports the integration of configurable processors in a multiprocessor system on chip. This platform can be adapted to the application and the design constraints. The configuration of the platform is done through a graphical user interface generated through an XML parameterization file. We also present the platform design flow, including the configuration process. Results show that this platform allows producing, in a few hours, efficient designs that would take weeks to code manually. It opens the door to faster and more thorough exploration of the design space for MPSoCs design.
