Title:

Low Power Multicore SoC Architecture for UWB MAC Processing

Abstract:

This talk addresses the multicore SoC architecture design issues for UWB MAC processing for short-distance high-speed wireless communications. The design process involves porting an initial multitask RTOS-based SW design for single-core SoC into RTOS-less multicore SW/HW design to remove the task switching overhead. Multicore architecture is then enhanced with dedicated interprocessor communication interconnects for efficient task synchronization, and also by switching to area/power efficient cores. The final multicore design achieves 3x speedup and 7x power reduction compared to the initial single-core design.
