Engineering the Complex SOC The first integrated hardware / software guide to processor-centric SOC design Processor-centric approaches enable SOC designers to complete projects much larger in far less time. Coverage includes: Why extensible processor is required: the current lack of design methods Comparing the processor can be developed for traditional processors and embedded logic Extensible processor architecture and processor extensibility mechanism Latency, throughput, coordination of parallel functions, hardware interconnect options, management of design complexity, and other problems Multiple-processor SOC architecture for embedded systems Task design from the viewpoint of software developers andhardware Advanced techniques: implementing complex state machines, task-to-task synchronization, power optimization, and much more Towards the sea processor:? Long-term trends in SOC design and semiconductor technology For all architects, hardware engineers, software designers, and SOC SOC program managers involved with complex design, and for all managers investing in SOC designs, platforms, processors, or expertise.
