Keynote address 3: “From MARTE to SystemC/VHDL”

This keynote will present the Gaspard2 model driven engineering framework for the co-design of component-based intensive signal processing applications on multiprocessor systems-on-chip. This framework is implemented as an Eclipse-based application using the Eclipse Modeling Framework. The input language of this framework is a subset of the MARTE standard UML profile with a clearly defined semantics dedicated to multidimensional data-flow applications. The hardware platform is also modeled with MARTE as well as the allocation of the application to the hardware platform. From the MARTE specification of the allocated application, Gaspard2 is able to automatically generate various codes for verification with synchronous reactive tools, simulation with SystemC or synthesis with VHDL.
