Abstract
The article introduces the Multiplatform Library Configuration and Tuning Tool (MLCTT) system idea. Today there are many complex projects with digital hardware, where fast speed, low development cost and low power consumption are required. We hope that presented idea can be a good solution for this problem. The introduced MLCTT system is combination of Multiprocessor System on Chip and Multi Core System on Chip. It consists of rich set of functional blocks, which are part of almost all modern digital processing systems and defines some basic principles for easy connectivity between those blocks and external environment. By using this solution, the developers can easily create necessarily hardware for target application and easily change it during software development, if necessarily. The main advantage of this solution is independence on used processor(s) and easy network on chip scalability. The whole system is based on the SystemC TLM-2.0 model, because those features are suitable for software profiling and dynamic system generation. This allows the best performance and power consumption tuning for a desired application. The basic of this concept and its advantages are introduced in the paper.
