Aim:
The aim of the course is to address the particular problems concerning the design of complex embedded systems. Modern design methodologies are presented with an emphasis on early design phases, such as modeling, verification and system-level synthesis, not covered by traditional methods. After completing the course, the students should be able to:
Apply modern system-level methods and tools for the design of real-time embedded systems.
Understand and use modern modeling, verification and simulation tools in the context of system-level design.
Apply various modeling approaches, with a deep understanding of the practical and theoretical implications.
Analyze the particular features of the application and select the most appropriate modeling approach.
Evaluate the implications of system level design decisions, regarding system architecture, task scheduling and mapping, on the final system performance, cost, and power consumption.
Understand the complex interactions between hardware architecture and software implementation.
Formally verify a system model.
Perform design space exploration using a system-level simulation environment.
