Software defines the functionality of today's Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Many product innovations are based on software and thus the complexity of software, even when running on platforms equipped with small microprocessors, is increasing dramatically. This calls for adequate embedded software integration testing, even before the actual hardware platform is available. The application of virtual...
Since energy consumption is one of the most limiting factors for embedded and integrated systems, today’s microelectronic design demands urgently for power-aware methodologies for early specification, design-space exploration and verification of the designs’ power properties. To this end, we currently develop a contract- and component-based design concept for power properties, called Power Contracts,...
Power dissipation is one of the key parameters when designing digital circuits. While an ASIC can be exactly fitted to the requirements, targeting an FPGA means to select one of many commercially available FPGAs having different power characteristics.
Due to the increasing algorithmic complexity of todays embedded systems, the consideration of extra-functional properties becomes even more important. Extra-functional properties such as timing, power consumption, and temperature need to be validated against given requirements on all abstraction levels. For timing and power consumption at RT- and gate-level, several techniques are available, but there...
Since energy consumption continuously becomes a limiting factor for today's microelectronics, power-aware design space exploration won significant importance in the design flows. Being strongly dependent on future design decisions and low-level parameters, the challenge results, how to derive power estimates from uncertain knowledge about later implementation details. For that purpose, high-level...
This paper describes a methodology to transform hardware components given as cycle-accurate, synthesizable HDL code to enable their efficient integration into a Simulink simulation. As long as the event-driven HDL model fulfills a few requirements, it can be converted to a monolithic function which allows its native execution in the time-driven model of computation of Simulink without affecting the...
