A framework for rapid system-level exploration, synthesis, and programming of multimedia MP-SoCs (original) (raw)

The paper presents the Daedalus framework, designed to tackle the complexities of system-level design for multimedia MultiProcessor-System-on-Chip (MP-SoC) architectures. Daedalus aims to bridge the implementation gap by providing an integrated environment for architectural exploration, synthesis, and programming. The framework enhances automation in the design process, facilitating the decomposition of multimedia applications, the exploration of architectural candidates, and the rapid synthesis of systems, as illustrated through a case study of a Motion-JPEG encoder.
