“…A methodology for system level design space exploration is presented in [4], but the focus is purely on partitioning and deriving system specifications from functional description of the application. Peixoto et al gave a comprehensive framework for algorithmic and design space exploration along with definitions for several systemlevel metrics [61].…”

Computer vision has emerged as one of the most popular domains of embedded applications. Though various new powerful embedded platforms to support such applications have emerged in recent years, there is a distinct lack of efficient domain-specific synthesis techniques for optimized implementation of such systems. In this thesis, four different aspects that contribute to efficient design and synthesis of such systems are explored:(1) Graph Transformations: Dataflow modeling is widely used in digital signal processing (DSP) systems. However, support for dynamic behavior in such systems exists mainly at the modeling level and there is a lack of optimized synthesis techniques for these models. New transformation techniques for efficient system-on-chip (SoC) design methods are proposed and implemented for cyclo-static dataflow and its parameterized version (parameterized cyclo-static dataflow) -two powerful models that allow dynamic reconfigurability and phased behavior in DSP systems.

“…The search process is completely unguided and unbiased towards preferences of the designer. Examples of design systems and case studies based on exhaustive search include system-level simulation [39,6,125], high-level synthesis [11,13,22,4,26,111,103], ADL-driven approaches [80,91], cycle-accurate simulations [57,48], instruction set simulators [36], code parallelization and partitioning onto multi-processors [54], trace-based analysis [64], and last but not least static analysis [40].…”

This paper gives an overview of methods used for Design Space Exploration (DSE) at the system-and micro-architecture levels. The DSE problem is considered to be two orthogonal issues: (I) How could a single design point be evaluated, (II) how could the design space be covered during the exploration process? The latter question arises since an exhaustive exploration of the design space by evaluating every possible design point is usually prohibitive due to the sheer size of the design space. We therefore reveal trade-offs linked to the choice of appropriate evaluation and coverage methods. The designer has to balance the following issues: the accuracy of the evaluation, the time it takes to evaluate one design point (including the implementation of the evaluation model), the precision/granularity of the design space coverage, and last but not least the possibilities for automating the exploration process. We also list common representations of the design space and compare current system and micro-architecture level design frameworks. This review thus eases the choice of a decent exploration policy by providing a comprehensive survey and classification of recent related work. It is focused on System-on-a-Chip designs, particularly those used for network processors. These systems are heterogeneous in nature using multiple computation, communication, memory, and peripheral resources.Keywords: Design space exploration, design space pruning, system-level design, micro-architecture design, design frameworks, benchmarking, multi-objective search. NoteWe focus on related work which applies methods in the context of design space exploration. Discussing the theory of optimization methods and the fundamentals of design evaluation is beyond the scope of this survey.
