Abstract :
In this paper, an integrated approach for automatically synthesizing application specific, reliable multiprocessor systems is described. The characteristics of the candidate application task and the failure rates/performance/cost of the processors (and buses) are combined to evolve an optimal reliable multiprocessor system tuned to the application task. Such an integrated approach yields (i) an application specific multiprocessor architecture, and (ii) a reliability-oriented mapping/schedule of sub tasks in the application task graph to processors
