Multiview modeling with performance and power aspects

Participants : Julien Deantoni, Ameni Khecharem, Robert de Simone, Emilien Kofman, Carlos Gomez.

In the context of the ANR HOPE project and The CIM PACA Design Platform, we continued our work on joint modeling and co-simulation of abstract architecture and application (use case scenario) models, together with non-functional aspect views such as performance, power and temperature. The goal of the HOPE project is to consider hierarchical {Power/Performance/Temperature} Management Units (MU), and our target is to connect our IDM modeling with dedicated tools such as Synopsys Platform Architect or Docea Power AcePlorer. The IP_Xact interface format for IP blocks is also aimed for compositional assembly representation, including non-functional properties and timing semantics constraints for co-simulation. This work is mostly continued from the former PhD thesis of Carlos Gomez to a new framework by Ameni Khecharem, as part of her PhD. Practical co-simulation trends are also investigated.
