   SESSION 4
  Processor and Communication Centric SoC Design
  Chair: Johannes Stahl - CoWare, Inc., San Jose, United States
  Organizers: Brian Bailey, Rainer Leupers

  Multi-processor systems-on-chip (MPSoCs) are becoming a necessary way to balance performance, power and reliability while maintaining the maximum degree of flexibility.

The first paper proposes the use of bus scenarios for an optimized time budget assignment to system tasks. The second paper proposes a new approach to implement custom processor instruction set extensions. The third paper focuses on optimization of scratch-pad memory hierarchies for MPSoC architectures, while the last paper deals with handling both transient and permanent faults in a tiled architecture, targeting single program, multiple data applications.
