A formal approach for the optimization of heterogeneous multiprocessors for complex image processing schemes
M. Schwiegershausen, P. Pirsch · European Design Automation Conference · 1995
This paper presents a formal approach using MILP and its implementation as CAD tool for the optimization of heterogeneous multiprocessor systems. These heterogeneous systems, consisting of application-specific as well as of programmable processors, are highly suitable for performing complex schemes of image processing algorithms under real time constraints. By means of a formal optimization approach, it becomes possible to derive efficient, real time hardware, being optimal in terms of area expense and throughput rate.
