More Information
Summary:Embedded Architect is a design automation tool that embodies a static performance evaluation technique to support early, architecture-level design space exploration for component-based embedded systems. A static control flow characterization, called an evaluation scenario, is specified based on an incremental refinement of software source code, from which a pseudo-trace of operations is generated in combination with architecture mapping and several component parameters, a software performance metric is estimated The novel contribution is the implementation of a tool that automates specification of an evaluation scenario, which sets the context for a rapid performance evaluation of distinct candidate architectures.
