Therefore, the field of model based design space exploration (DSE) is of increasing importance. Furthermore, errors within the design process lead to dramatically increased costs. The huge complexity of these SoCs and the very high manufacturing costs demand sophisticated design strategies as it is not possible to simulate a sufficiently large number of implementation alternatives in advance. At the same time, the costs for manufacturing deep-sub-µ devices with feature sizes down to 45 nm are dramatically increasing.ĭue to this progress, today, complete systems are integrated on a single silicon die as so-called Systems on Chip (SoCs). For example, the number of transistors which can be integrated on a single piece of silicon doubles every 18 months according to Moore’s Law (Moore, 1965). Due to the progress of modern microelectronics the complexity of integrated electronic systems is steadily increasing.
