Scheduling Real-Time Streaming Applications onto an Embedded Multiprocessor (Embedded Systems, 24)

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art, data flow-based techniques for the analysis, modeling and mapping technologies of concurrent applications on multi-processors.  The authors present a flow for designing embedded hard/firm real-time multiprocessor streaming applications, based on data flow formalisms, with a particular focus on wireless modem applications. Architectures are described for the design tools and run-time scheduling and resource management of such a platform.

• Provides a comprehensive overview of the complete design trajectory, based on data flow programming and analysis for multiprocessor systems;
• Describes modeling techniques, with an emphasis on different data flow models for budget schedulers, and the modeling of different schedulers;
• Discusses other relevant data-flow models of computation, such as cyclo-static data flow and integer and boolean data flow;
