Abstract :
In this paper, we describe the challenges users face for software development on systems on chip (SoC) involving multiple cores. We briefly review the trends and challenges for MPSoC design and derive from them the resulting requirements. We discuss briefly the required exploration tools and close with an analysis of which type of providers are able to provide appropriate solutions to the MPSoC challenge
