    Architectural synthesis of computer systems with testability issues[X]
    • duration: 1995-1998
    • content:
      In the research project we will focus on the following topics: how to consider all the relevant factors, costs, constraints, and objectives during the architectural synthesis; how to decide for a given application the number and types of processors to be included in the system; how to decide the interconnection between the selected processors; how to use the designed system effectively to perform the application task; how to map and schedule the subtasks onto the processors; and how to incorporate testability considerations in the architectural synthesis.
