Bus Topology Exploration and Memory Allocation for Heterogeneous Systems

Since semiconductor process is constantly being improved, the complexity of system-on-chip is rising daily and we can place more and more elements on the same chip area. The system designers have been searching new methodology that can handle the complex systems and the environment which can quickly simulate the system-on-chip. It is brought forward that is raising the level of abstraction, as the design methodology of Electronic-System-Level (ESL). But system designers still need to decide the system architecture (the bus and PE connection status), and judge if the system could meet the performance and cost constraints by simulation results. For the very complex system, system designers will cost more and more time owning to the growth of design space to get the best system architecture.
In this thesis, we propose a synthesis method to support automatic ESL design and help system designers to decide system architecture from large design space in short time. The method uses fast estimation method to estimate bus topology and memory allocation that affect the processing-elements¡¦ communication. By this method, we can find better system architecture which meets all constraints with the same amount of processing-elements.
