Application-Specific Architecture Compilation

Objective

The ASAC project explored techniques for the creation of system-level design tools to ensure optimisation of hardware performance and hardware/software partitioning.
The project explored techniques for the creation of system level design tools to ensure optimization of hardware performance and hardware/software partitioning. Work was targeted on producing an optimized, fully detailed and documented plan for achieving the final project goals, which were to develop a set of computer aided design (CAD) tools to allow systems designers to:
specify and design concurrent hardware/software systems;
build explicit models of the environment in which the target system will work;
support top down methodologies (global architectural design, trade offs, global performance model, etc);
support bottom up methodologies (performance verification, explicit building of system parts, etc).
The goal of the one-year definition phase was to achieve a joint understanding between all partners of system design problems; this would form the basis upon which to define the requirements for CAD tools and systems at the system design level.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Data not available

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

Data not available

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
