FoRTReSS is a System Level framework for the design space exploration of heterogeneous multi / many-core platforms with reconfigurable hardware acceleration focusing on very high energy efficiency.

The methodology provides the following features:

• High energy efficiency improvement (up to 20x)
• Multi-application specification and deployment on heterogeneous multi / many-core supporting hardware acceleration with or without Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration (DPR)
• Search for optimal FPGA region partitioning and set of cores
• Exploration of application deployments with fully implementable real-time / energy efficient heterogeneous solutions and advanced Energy Aware schedulers (possibly with DVFS, blanking, etc.)
• Definition of custom Low Power schedulers with middleware solution for Linux based implementation
• Power profiles and energy estimation based on practical CPU, FPGA and DPR models
• Detailed energy efficiency and mapping / scheduling analysis of Hw / Sw tasks
