SystemC and OCAPI-xl Based System-Level Design for Reconfigurable Systems-on-Chip
Reconfigurability is becoming an important part of System-on-Chip (SoC) design to cope with the increasing demands for simultaneous flexibility and computational power. Current hardware/software co-design methodologies provide little support for dealing with the additional design dimension introduced. Further support at the system-level is needed for the identification and modelling of dynamically re-configurable function blocks, for efficient design space exploration, partitioning and mapping, and for performance evaluation. The overhead effects, e.g. context switching and configuration data, should be included in the modelling already at the system-level in order to produce credible information for decision-making. This paper focuses on hardware/software co-design applied for reconfigurable SoCs. We discuss exploration of additional requirements due to reconfigurability, report extensions to two C++ based languages/methodologies, SystemC and OCAPI-xl, to support those requirements, ...
