CA-Ex: A Tuning-Incremental Methodology for Application-Specific Communication Architectures in Distributed Embedded Systems
The communication architecture (CA) problem is at the very heart of system level design related to the development of distributed embedded systems. The design of efficient Cas is pivotal because communication is becoming the most important source of on-chip desired performance numbers. In this paper we focus on the aspects of CA design in heterogeneous systems consisting of arbitrarily linked programmable processors and off-the-shelf application specific components, and introduce a design methodology named CA-Ex which enables a tuning-incremental architectural exploration. One of the major contributions is that we summarily present four architecting scenarios and outline a unified framework to achieve a specification-modeling-exploration process. Finally, we evaluate CA-Ex methodology through an illustrative case study on JPEG decoder and describe its advantages.
