System Architecture Design

This chapter presents the system architecture design. The system architecture design consists of partitioning and mapping the application onto the target architecture and mapping the communication onto the available hardware resources. The key contribution in this chapter represents the definition, organization, and design of the system architecture using Simulink, for the Token Ring application running on the 1AX architecture, the Motion JPEG application targeting the Diopsis RDT architecture, and the H.264 encoder running on the Diopsis R2DT architecture. The functional simulation of the system architecture models allows validation of the applications’ algorithm.
