System-on-Chip
System-on-Chip (SoC) is the enabling technology of future embedded computer
based systems. These systems are typically programmable and/or
configurable, they are often reactive (responding to events in the
environment in which they are embedded), they perform information
processing and control tasks and, they are often invisible to the user.
The implementation of these systems of both hardware and software
components and the interaction between hardware and software is an
essential part of the design. SoC research at IMM is focused on two
issues; platform architecture and design methodologies for SoC.
Platform architecture: Finding good solution templates under the
constraints and characteristics set by the semiconductor technology and
the application domain in question. A platform may be viewed as a
reconfigurable heterogeneous multi-processor system. Research topics
include: interconnect structures (Network-on-Chip), ultra low power
architecture's (globally asynchronous locally synchronous systems) and
design of integrated circuits.
Design methodologies (Co-design): Finding the best possible mapping of the
system-level components onto the platform architecture, based on
non-functional properties such as performance, cost, power dissipation,
flexibility and reliability. Trade-off's between hardware, software and
communication implementations are taken into account during mapping. In
particular, implementing functionality as embedded software gives the
highest degree of flexibility, but in order to be efficient, issues like
code size, performance and power consumption need to be addressed and
related to the overall system characteristics and requirements.
