Download or read book Hardware/Software Co-design for Heterogeneous Multi-core Platforms written by Koen Bertels and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HW/SW Co-Design for Heterogeneous Multi-Core Platforms describes the results and outcome of the FP6 project which focuses on the development of an integrated tool chain targeting a heterogeneous multi core platform comprising of a general purpose processor (ARM or powerPC), a DSP (the diopsis) and an FPGA. The tool chain takes existing source code and proposes transformations and mappings such that legacy code can easily be ported to a modern, multi-core platform. Downloadable software will be provided for simulation purposes.
