Opis

This work introduces, from several points of view,the issues related to the simulation of complexmulti-processor systems on a single chip, also knownas MPSoC. The design of such systems raises newchallenges due to the large design space and tightdesign and time-to-market constraints: producingcomplete solutions requires techniques andmethodologies coming from different fields, and thedesign and production process can be seen fromseveral points of view.This book mainly focuses on the mechanisms behindsimulation platforms for MPSoCs which support the socalled Platform Based Design, an innovative techniqueeliminating the need for costly design iterations andenabling smooth transitions between the differentmodeling abstraction levels. In this context otherArchitectural Description Languages and Real-TimeOperating Systems are presented and analyzed.After reading this book, professional and experts inthe embedded systems market (telecommunications,mobile phones, aero-space industry, etc.) should geta deep insight on the newest mechanisms andmethodologies driving the design and development ofnext generation Multi-Processor embedded systems.
