Abstract

In this contribution we present a new paradigm and methodology for the Network-on-chip (NoC) based design of complex hardware/software systems. While classical industrial design platforms represent dedicated fixed architectures for specific applications, flexible NoC architectures open new degrees of system reconfigurability. After giving an overview on required demands for NoC hyper-platforms, we describe the realisation of these prerequisites within the HiNoC platform. We introduce a new dynamic hardware/software co-design methodology for pre- and post-manufacturing design. Finally we will summarize the concept combined with an outlook on further investigations.
