What is Proceedings of the 6th IEEE/ACM/IFIP international conference on Hardware/Software codesign and system synthesis - CODES/ISSS '08 - Specification and OS-based implementation of self-adaptive, hardware/software embedded systems about?

This paper presents our solution for specifying and implementing self-adaptivness within an OS-based and reconfigurable embedded system according to objectives such as quality of service (QoS), performance or power consumption. More precisely, we detail our approach to separate, at runtime, application-specific decisions and hardware/software implementation decisions at system level. The first ones are related to the control of the efficiency of applications, they are specified in Local Configuration Managers (LCM) based on the knowledge of application engineers. The second ones are generic and address the choice between various hardware and software implementations according to observations of the gap between online measurements and objectives set by the user, these decisions are implemented in the Global Configuration Manager (GCM) as an adaptive close-loop model. We have designed a video tracking application on an FPGA to demonstrate the effectiveness of our solution, results are given for a system built around a NIOS soft-core with μCOS II RTOS and new services for managing hardware and software tasks transparently.
