Design and Analyze the Communication in the Multi-Core Soc Driven by Petri Net

Abstract

With the development of integrated circuit, SoC technology has played an important role gradually. To increase the speed of the chip and system design further, multi-core architecture has been a new trend in the SoC field, while an important problem of multi- core architecture is the communication among the different cores. In this paper, Petri net is used as a model to describe asynchronous and concurrent computer system, including strict mathematics definition, audiovisual figure show, abundant of describing methods and analysis technology. A formal co-verification approach of SoC with controlled Petri net tools is proposed and an example is described in detail, including the abstract of the design and the analysis of the multi-core SoC system from the definition of Petri net to the use of these tools.
