ESE 566: Hardware/Software Co-Design of Embedded SystemsFall 2005 Instructor: Dr. Alex Doboli. Paper discussed in class: A. Kalavade, E. Lee, “The Extended Partitioning Problem: Hardware/Software Mapping, Scheduling, and Implementation-bin Selection”.
Brief description of the paper content • Briefly, present the topic of the paper. What novel ideas does the paper bring? • What is the design methodology management framework?
Paper topic • What kind of design aspect is especially important in the methodology? • How is partitioning defined in this methodology? Why is partitioning difficult?
Paper topic • What are the Pareto optimal points? Why are they important for design? How would you find the Pareto optimal point for a real design? How would you generalize the method if n performance constraints are considered? • What is binary partitioning? What is extended partitioning? How would you extend the work considering the embedded architectures discussed in class?
Embedded design problem • What are the requirements for the embedded system to be designed? • What other issues would you add to the embedded system description?
System partitioning • How is binary partitioning defined? • How is extended partitioning defined?
Binary partitioning • Discuss the Global Criticality/Local Phase algorithm?(list scheduling, how is GCLP overcoming the limitation of list scheduling?, global criticality, locality – extremity, repeller, normal nodes, algorithm in Figure 4)
Binary partitioning • Discuss GC using Figure 5. • What are extremities? Extremity measures. What are repellers? Repelling measure.
Binary partitioning • What is a hardware extremity? What is a software extremity? • Discuss the algorithm calculating extremity measure.
Binary partitioning • Discuss the computing of repeller measures. • How are repellers used in modifying the threshold value for GC? • Discuss the description of Obj1 and Obj2.
Extended partitioning • What is an implementation bin? How are implementation bins found in the extended partitioning method? • What is the bin fraction attribute? What is the bin fraction curve? • What is bin sensitivity?
Extended partitioning • How are bins selected?
