Abstract

At now, multi-core processors are becoming prevalent rapidly in personal computing and embedded systems. But, the programming and supporting environment for multi-core processor systems is still unripe and lacks efficient tools. In this paper, we present a VERTAF/Multi-Core integration development environment and show how software code can be automatically generated from SysML/UML models of multi-core embedded systems. VERTAF/Multi-Core integrated requirement modeling, parallel design pattern modeling, multiview integrated model, automatic code generate, parallel code optimized, and system testing into a framework. We illustrate how model-driven design based on SysML/UML can be seamlessly integrated with Intel´s threading building blocks (TBB) and the Quantum Platform middleware. We use a digital video recording system to show the benefits of the framework and it made the multi-core embedded system programming model-driven, easy, efficient, and effortless.
