SystemCoDesigner – The System-Level Hardware-Software-Co-Design Tool

SystemCoDesigner is a software tool for automatic design space exploration at the electronic system level and automatic platform-based prototyping of hardware/software systems using SystemC.

Reconfigurable Adder Architectures for Low Power Applications

The growing design complexity has attracted the designs with Reconfigurable fabrics, where adaptable fabrics are utilized to solve the computational problems. Reconfigurable computing provides the flexibility in arriving at the problem specific architectures which helps in improving the performance due to custom approach. In this paper, a flexible reconfigurable architecture with different adde...

Measuring the Quality of a SystemC Testbench by using Code Coverage Techniques

The system description language SystemC enables to quickly create executable specifications at adequate levels of abstraction for both hardware/software integration and fast design space exploration. Besides the modeling of a system, verification has become a dominant factor in circuit and system design. Since SystemC is a versatile language based on C++, testbenches at different abstraction le...

TriMedia CPU64 Design Space Exploration

Within Philips Research Labs, we are investigating the 64bit VLIW core for future TriMedia processors. We have performed an extensive Design Space Exploration (DSE) on this core using quantitative analysis, using a benchmark suite of applications which are representative for multimedia processing. We have explored, among others, the configurations of the different functional units (FUs) of the ...
