Design Concepts for a Virtualizable Embedded MPSoC Architecture: Enabling Virtualization in Embedded Multi-Processor Systems - Tapa blanda

ALEXANDER BIEDERMANN PRESENTS A GENERIC HARDWARE-BASED VIRTUALIZATION APPROACH, WHICH MAY TRANSFORM AN ARRAY OF ANY OFF-THE-SHELF EMBEDDED PROCESSORS INTO A MULTI-PROCESSOR SYSTEM WITH HIGH EXECUTION DYNAMISM. BASED ON THIS APPROACH, HE HIGHLIGHTS CONCEPTS FOR THE DESIGN OF ENERGY AWARE SYSTEMS, SELF-HEALING SYSTEMS AS WELL AS PARALLELIZED SYSTEMS. FOR THE LATTER, THE NOVEL SO-CALLED AGILE PROCESSING SCHEME IS INTRODUCED BY THE AUTHOR, WHICH ENABLES A SEAMLESS TRANSITION BETWEEN SEQUENTIAL AND PARALLEL EXECUTION SCHEMES. THE DESIGN OF SUCH VIRTUALIZABLE SYSTEMS IS FURTHER AIDED BY INTRODUCTION OF A DEDICATED DESIGN FRAMEWORK, WHICH INTEGRATES INTO EXISTING, COMMERCIAL WORKFLOWS. AS A RESULT, THIS BOOK PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN FLOWS FOR THE DESIGN OF EMBEDDED MULTI-PROCESSOR SYSTEMS-ON-CHIP.
