Description

Embedded systems designers are increasingly faced with the challenge of designing concurrent systems. Such systems run on multi-core architectures, but also on heterogeneous platforms (for example DSPs and FPGAs). Designers need to take advantage of the parallelism on offer, but there are significant issues:

How can we create applications that can exploit the underlying (parallel) architecture?
What does the application designer really need to know of the underlying architecture?
What tools are needed to write applications and what part of the process should they automate?
How should we design the underlying hardware architectures?

These and other questions will be central to this workshop, which will bring together researchers actively working on architectures, design tools, and applications for embedded parallel systems.

This workshop will have three main sessions:

Architectures: presenting and discussing the most relevant problems arising during the design optimization and exploration of many/multi-core architectures.
Design Tools: focusing on the state-of-the-art of tool development, showing where we are now and the directions we need to move in.
Applications: discussing the analysis, development, modification, and integration of applications with respect to parallel computing platforms.
