Scheduling Real-Time Streaming Applications onto an Embedded Multiprocessor

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 boolean data flow
