A Model Driven Co-design Approach For High Performance Embedded Systems Dedicated To Transport

摘要

This paper demonstrates that the Model Driven Engineering approach is reliable for the development of codesign environments dedicated to embedded systems. From a UML model of a data parallel application, the Gaspard environment is able to generate an hardware accelerator which executes the modeled application. All the potential parallelism of a given application is modeled in UML and is exploited in order to generate a powerful hardware system. Gaspard is dedicated to intensive signal processing applications. Therefore, many automotive sector applications could benefit of the Gaspard environment.
