Abstract

Systems-on-chips (SoCs) up the stakes in embedded software in several dimensions. Not only do they allow us to integrate more software on a single chip, they also allow us to implement new types of systems, such as multiprocessor algorithms and networked systems-on-chips. The software for these SoCs must not only meet the traditional requirements of software but must also meet more hardware-like properties such as timing, power consumption, and size. Video provides an excellent example of advanced embedded software for SoCs. This paper uses a smart camera being designed at Princeton University to illustrate how a hierarchy of abstractions can be used in embedded software system design.
