FlexSoC: Combining Flexibility and Efficiency in SoC Designs

• The FlexSoC project aims at developing a designframework that makes it possible to combine the computational speed and energy-efficiency of specialized hardware accelerators with the flexibility of programmable processors. FlexSoC approaches this problem by defining auniform programming interface across the heterogeneousstructure of processing resources. This paper justifies ourapproach and also discusses the central research issueswe will focus on in the areas of VLSI design, computerarchitecture, and programming and verification.
