Increasing complexity of modern embedded systems demands system designers to ramp up their design productivity without compromising performance goals. This is promoted by modern Electronic System Level (ESL) techniques. Language-driven Exploration and Implementation of Partially Re-configurable ASIPs addresses an important segment of the ESL area by modeling partially re-configurable processors via high-level Architecture Description Language (ADL). This approach also hints an imminent evolution in the area of re-configurable system design.

This book gives a comprehensive introduction to the design challenges of MPSoC platforms, focusing on early design space exploration. It defines an iterative methodology to increase the abstraction level so that evaluation of design decisions can be performed earlier in the design process. These techniques enable exploration on the system level before undertaking time- and cost-intensive development.

Les réseaux de neurones convolutifs (CNN) utilisés pour l’analyse des signaux vidéo sont très gourmands en calculs. De telles applications embarquées nécessitent des implémentations efficaces en termes de coût et de puissance. Ce chapitre présente une solution basée sur un processeur de jeu d’instructions spécifique à l’application (ASIP) qui représente un bon compromis entre efficacité et programmabilité.
