Profile and Instrumentation Driven Methods for Embedded Signal Processing
Abstract:
Modern embedded systems for digital signal processing DSP run increasingly sophisticated applications that require expansive performance resources, while simultaneously requiring better power utilization to prolong battery-life. Achieving such conflicting objectives requires innovative softwarehardware design space exploration spanning a wide-array of techniques and technologies that offer trade-offs among performance, cost, power utilization, and overall system design complexity. To save on non-recurring engineering NRE costs and in order to meet shorter time-to-market requirements, designers are increasingly using an iterative design cycle and adopting model-based computer-aided design CAD tools to facilitate analysis, design optimization.
