Research on Pattern Based SOC Design Methodology

By analyzing traditional SOC(system on chip) design methodologies, many efforts increase productivity and decrease complexity by raising the level of abstraction and reusing the design. Therefore a new pattern based SOC (design) methodology (PBSOC) was proposed, which building system-level object-oriented pattern database and IP-reuse database. Aiming at the final goal of developing design patterns special to SOC design, the reuse of design patterns in SOC systems and the capability of new SOC design patterns was discussed. Then some examples of rebuilding existed software design patterns and building new SOC patterns were illustrated, which specified the object-(oriented) method applied to SOC design.
