MPSoC System Level Design Method Based on Universal Interconnect Network

The scale and function of embedded system is becoming more complex and larger, which limits the traditional design methodology.So, a novel embedded system level design method based on universal interconnect network (UIN) is proposed in this paper.Universal interconnect network is composed of unit library, detect points, optimization algorithm and kernel unit.The unit library provides the designer an easy way to build embedded system of different topology and map complex algorithm onto it;the detect points are implanted in the system, and they can evaluate system performance such as delay, power consumption and throughput;The optimization algorithm uses the detected information to optimize the system topology and algorithm mapping;the kernel runs the built-up system, getting data and information.The methodology proposed in this paper can be used to analyze and optimize the system in the early developing step, shortening the development cycle and increasing the system performance.The effectiveness of the novel method has been verified by experimental results on ring bus architecture and particle filter application.
