Part III: Methodology and Applications
This section concerns both methodology and applications. These two topics are fairly closely related—the most effective design methodologies are often tied to applications in order to leverage knowledge about the characteristics of the application space. Because MPSoCs make use of many different component technologies—processors, hardwired logic, embedded software, and so on— methodologies are critical to the success of an MPSoC design project. A methodology tells us what to measure, when to measure it, and what to do with the results.
Chapter 13, by Wander O. Cesário and Ahmed A. Jerraya, describes a component-based design methodology. These components may be either hardware or software. The hardware ...
