Abstract

The influence of embedded systems is constantly growing. Increasingly powerful and versatile devices are developed and put on the market at a fast pace. Their functionality and number of features is increasing, and so are the constraints on the systems concerning size, performance, energy dissipation and timing predictability. To meet all these constraints, multi–processor systems on a chip (MPSoCs) are becoming popular in embedded systems. In order to meet the performance and energy constraints of embedded applications, heterogeneous architectures incorporating functional units optimized for specific functions are commonly employed. This technological trend has dramatic consequences on the parallelization, mapping, compiler and design technology used to develop these systems. The Map2MPSoC/SCOPES workshop focusses on the software generation process for modern embedded systems. Topics of interest include all aspects of the compilation and mapping process of embedded single and multi–processor systems. This includes (but is not limited to): – models of computation and programming languages; – performance analysis techniques for models of computation; – automatic code parallelization techniques; – mapping and scheduling techniques for for embedded multi–processor systems; – code generation techniques for embedded single and multi–processor architectures; – design–space exploration techniques for use in the HW/SW codesign process; – techniques to exploit the dynamic behavior in embedded applications; – interactions between operating systems and compilation techniques; – techniques for compiler aided profiling, measurement, debugging and validation of embedded software.
