0. Motivation and Goal:
Multicore architectures have recently become focus of many researchers due to the growing interest in thread-level-parallelism. This is a natural response on the diminishing performance improvement in exploiting ILP.
Embedded computing has recently reached high performance levels, becoming more and more present in appliances used in everyday life. A wide variety of applications, from consumer electronics to biomedical systems, requires building up powerful yet cheap embedded devices.
Design of embedded systems must take into account a wide variety of constraints: performance, code size, power consumption, presence of real-time tasks, security and scalability. In this scenario, solutions should be investigated at different levels of abstraction.
A dedicated multicore system can be easily developed and prototyped by putting it on a single FPGA (e.g. Stratix or Cyclone from Altera) for various high performance multimedia applications
