Abstract

During the design process of modern SoCs (systems on chip), system architects require the support of design tools and methods that allow for a precise exploration of promising solutions. A trend towards autonomic SoCs is being proposed, in which a system's behavior is adapted at run time to improve reliability or power consumption. However, this opens ever more degrees of freedom in the definition of suitable architectures. Not only must the allocation and binding of resources and tasks be determined, but also the strategies by which an autonomic system adapts to changing working conditions. This paper presents an extension to the TAPES system simulator in order to support the evaluation of autonomic SoCs.
