Proceedings of the 17th International Workshop on Software and Compilers for Embedded Systems (SCOPES '14), Sankt Goar, Germany, June 10-11, 2014

The influence of embedded systems is constantly growing. Increasingly powerful and versatile devices are developed and put on the market at a fast pace. Their functionality and number of features is increasing, and so are the constraints on the systems concerning size, performance, energy dissipation and timing predictability. To meet all these constraints, multi-processor systems on a chip (MPSoCs) are becoming popular in embedded systems. In order to meet the performance and energy constraints of embedded applications, heterogeneous architectures incorporating functional units optimized for specific functions are commonly employed. This technological trend has dramatic consequences on the parallelization, mapping, compiler and design technology used to develop these systems. The SCOPES workshop focuses on the software generation process for these modern embedded systems. Topics of interest include all aspects of the compilation and mapping process of embedded single and multiprocessor systems
