DITAM 2014 - 3rd Workshop on Design Tools and Architectures for Multicore Embedded Computing Platforms

Embedded computing is one of the computing areas where multi/many-core architectures are being used to achieve high-performance and/or energy savings. Tight and demanding requirements, short time-to-market and possible product upgrades, make the development of applications and the design of embedded architectures very challenging. Techniques for hardware/software co-design, for configuring the system according to application needs, for programming the multiple cores, and for generating customized hardware accelerators are currently hot topics of research. Furthermore, customization via reconfigurable hardware, run-time resource management, and run-time adaptability are seen as promising techniques to adapt the embedded computing architecture to the application requirements.
TOPIC AREAS
The workshop will have three main sessions:
l Heterogeneous Many-Core Architectures: on the most relevant problems arising during the design exploration and optimization of heterogeneous many/multi core architectures.
l Design Tools and Methodologies: on the state-of-the-art of tool development and on fresh ideas to make design tools aware of non-functional requirements and different target architectures.
l Run-time Adaptivity Techniques: on the state-of-the-art techniques to dynamically manage and adapt the resources of the target architecture to runtime workloads and/or new applications.
