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

The methodology provides the following features:

• High energy efficiency improvement (x20)
• 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 scheduling
• Definition of custom low power schedulers (possibly with DVFS, blanking, etc.) with a middleware integration solution for Linux based systems
• Power profiles and energy estimation based on practical CPU, FPGA and DPR models
• Detailed energy efficiency and mapping / scheduling analysis of Hw / Sw tasks
• Methodology outline presented at
