Abstract

SystemC based design methodology has been widely adopted for heterogeneous multiprocessor System on Chip (MPSoC) design. However, SystemC is hardware-oriented language and it is not the standard language used by designers to specify complex applications at algorithm level. On the other hand, Simulink is a popular choice for algorithm designer to specify complex system, but there are few design tools to implement Simulink models on MPSoC. To deal with the increasing complexity of embedded applications and MPSoC architectures, concurrent hardware/software design and verification at different abstraction levels is an essential technique. In this paper, we present a Simulink-SystemC based multiprocessor SoC design flow that enables mixed hardware/software refinement and simulation at different abstraction levels in addition to opening new facilities like communication mapping exploration and interconnection component refinement. We applied the proposed approach for software and communication architecture refinement for three multimedia applications: MP3, Motion JPEG and H.264.

基于Simulink的异构MPSoC软硬件协同设计流程

基于SystemC的设计方法在异构多处理器片上系统(MPSoC)设计中被广泛采用。然而，SystemC是面向硬件的语言，它不是设计人员在算法级别指定复杂应用程序的标准语言。另一方面，Simulink是算法设计者设计复杂系统的热门选择，但在MPSoC上实现Simulink模型的设计工具很少。为了应对日益复杂的嵌入式应用和MPSoC架构，在不同抽象层次上进行并发硬件/软件设计和验证是一项必要的技术。在本文中，我们提出了一个基于Simulink-SystemC的多处理器SoC设计流程，除了开放通信映射探索和互连组件优化等新设施外，还可以在不同抽象级别上进行混合硬件/软件优化和仿真。我们将提出的方法应用于MP3、Motion JPEG和H.264三种多媒体应用的软件和通信架构改进。
