This demo shows the capabilities of SCoPE, an MPSoC native simulator based on SystemC that enables early performance and power consumption estimations to be efficiently obtained, taking into account both software and hardware effects, like caches impact. Moreover, Potest, an MPSoC thermal model from Politecnico di Torino, has been integrated to estimate chip temperatures. The resulting framework will be demonstrated by modeling an embedded platform.

Project Information
Project Acronym: 
SCALOPES & Spanish MICyT TEC2008-04107
Project Start: 
Thu, 01/01/2009
Project End: 
Thu, 03/31/2011
Project Description: 
The project focus on cross-domain technology and tool developments for multi-core architectures. These developments are driven by and proven for 4 different application domains: communication infrastructure, surveillance systems, smart mobile terminals and stationary video & entertainment systems. Focus in the technology developments is on application & programming models, composability, dependability, reliability, predictable system design, resource management and tools supporting these new design technologies. As much as possible generic cross-domain tools and architectures will be worked upon, but also application-specific extensions will be covered. The project is focused on enhancing as much as possible the generic aspects by means of identifying how future cross-domain reference platforms will be made.
