Project

Optimization of MP-SoC Middleware for Event-driven Applications (OptiMMA) (IWT377)

The OptiMMA project will enable the mapping of emerging, dynamic software applications on complex Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip (MP-SoC). This will be achieved through the use of Middleware components, which will be able to mediate between embedded software and the hardware platforms. Thus, they manage - at run-time - the memory storage, energy consumption, bandwidth and computation resources of the embedded system.
Modeling and customization of the Middleware components is a key element of the OptiMMA project. It will create a broad user base and enable the valorization of the results among a wide body of economic actors in Flanders, including economic actors that specialize in multimedia and telecommunication applications on mobile devices, medical imaging devices, embedded software design, hardware platforms design, design tools, etc. One of the testbenches for the OptiMMA Middleware is a new 3D graphics coding scheme that goes beyond the state-of-the-art, to be designed within the scope of the project.
