Abstract:A one-size-fits-all ideology is not the best approach to the
challenges of high density, high performance, fault-tolerance and
small footprint in the embedded design space. Instead, application
specific, hybrid hardware and software architectures are required to
satisfy application constraints. To efficiently utilise the above
hybrid architectures a distributed computation approach is
necessary.
Message Passing (MP) has proven to be a very successful parallel
processing paradigm for homogeneous distributed
supercomputers. Inspired by the success of MP, I propose a Hybrid
MultiProcessor Cluster-on-Chip (HMPCoC) system as a potential
solution to the above challenges by providing hardware and software
module interfaces based on MP to efficiently extract application
parallelism, on heterogeneous embedded systems, implemented on a
reconfigurable logic platform.
