In this paper we present an approach for quantitative analysis of application-specific
dataflow architectures. The approach allows the designer to rate design alternatives in a …

We present a programming interface called YAPI to model signal processing applications
as process networks. The purpose of YAPI is to enable the reuse of signal processing …

Embedded systems architectures are increasingly becoming programmable, which means
that an architecture can execute a set of applications instead of only one. This makes these …

We present design technology for the structured design and programming of embedded
multi-processor systems. It comprises a task-level interface that can be used both for developing …

Effective integration of advanced Systems-on-Chip (SoC) requires extensive reuse of IP
modules as well as automation of the IP integration process, including verification. Key enablers …

We present a new VLIW core as a successor to the TriMedia TM1000. The processor is
targeted for embedded use in media-processing devices like DTVs and set-top boxes. Intended …

Eclipse is a scalable architecture template for designing data-dependent stream-processing
subsystems of media-processing SoCs. It combines application configuration flexibility with …

Since the early 1980s, CAD frameworks have received a great deal of attention, both in the
research community and in the commercial arena. It is generally agreed that CAD framework …
