- abstract = "With the increasing of complexity and performance demand of embedded systems, as well as with the reduction of microprocessors cost, embedded systems designers have considered multiprocessors systems as the solutions for their applications. The improvement of the integration technologies made it possible to integrate billions of transistors onto a single chip. As an embedded microprocessor is composed by a few million transistors, ten or more microprocessors can be integrated into a single chip to form a Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC). In the development of these systems, designers have to specify and validate the behaviour of the system application prior to final implementation, by using executable functional models and testbench structures. Approaches, such as Platform Based Design (PBD), have considered platform components reuse and abstract models at the system level as good practices to simplify and turn more dynamic the process of developing MPSoCs, thereby increasing the designers productivity. In this approach, the system in development is initially specified using a high level description, which will gradually be refined down to the final implementation in hardware. The system functions described in the initial specification are selected to be implemented in software or in hardware components. These components compose an architecture known as a platform, which can be modified and adapted to meet the application constraints. MPSoCs are composed by many processing components that implement concurrent communicating processes, so the on-chip communication architecture must meet the applications communication requirements. Thus, while there are several studies focusing on the partitioning/mapping processes, comparatively few research projects have addressed the communication analysis problem to support the design of systems, including efficient communication architectures. Some existing techniques to explore the configuration options of the communication structure are inaccurate, since they perform static estimates and do not take into account the dynamic effects of architecture, such as bus contention, or they are inefficient, since they have to simulate each configuration of the design space. This work aims to support communication analysis in the selection and refinement of communication architectures in the design of multi-processors systems, considering that the application has been partitioned and mapped to a platform, according to the PBD approach. By using the proposed approach, designer can have accurate estimates of the performance of the bus-based communication architecture for the entire design space, and, hence, can select a configuration that meets the communication constraints of the system.",
