Abstract :
This paper presents a method to virtualize the communications into a distributed heterogeneous embedded Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) platform containing reconfigurable hardware computing units. We propose a new concept of middleware, implemented in software and in hardware to provide the designer a single programming interface. The middleware offers some mechanisms like access to distant operating system (OS) services and interprocess communication. It abstracts both implementation and mapping. The embedded application then executes regardless of where or how processes are implemented. We are currently validating the concept on a real-time image processing application.
