Generic architecture platform for multiprocessor embedded system-on-chip design

International audienceIn this paper, we present a generic architecture model for multiprocessor embedded system-on-chip design. The use of this model as a template in a system design environment allows for efficient generation of multiprocessor architectures. The key characteristics of this model are its great modularity, flexibility and scalability which make it reusable for a large class of application. In addition, it allows for reusability of pre-designed blocks and automatic architecture generation. This paper focuses on the definition of the architecture model. The feasibility and effectiveness of this architecture model are illustrated by a significant demonstration example
