Abstract

Development of multimedia systems that can be targeted to different platforms is challenging due to the need for rigorous integration between high-level abstract modeling, and low-level synthesis and optimization. In this paper, a new dataflow-based design tool called the targeted dataflow interchange format is introduced for retargetable design, analysis, and implementation of embedded software for multimedia systems. Our approach provides novel capabilities, based on principles of task-level dataflow analysis, for exploring and optimizing interactions across design components; object-oriented data structures for encapsulating contextual information for components; a novel model for representing parameterized schedules that are derived from repetitive graph structures; and automated code generation for programming interfaces and low-level customizations that are geared toward high-performance embedded-processing architectures. We demonstrate our design tool for cross-platform application design, parameterized schedule representation, and associated dataflow graph-code generation using a case study centered around an image registration application. © 2012 IEEE.
