E X E C U T I V E summary

The top-level goal of SCALOPES is to enable an industrially sustainable path

for the evolution of low-power multi-core computing platforms for application

domains with strategic value for European competitiveness.

ARTEMIS Call 2008 Project

R E L E VA N C E C A L L 2008 objectives

SCALOPES is focusing on ARTEMIS Sub P5 “Computing Environments for Embedded Systems”.

The main technology focus in SCALOPES is on:> Energy & resources management solutions> Low-energy design methods & associated runtime methods> Standard interfaces (API) between hardware and low level software

M A R K E T innovation

The objectives of the SCALOPES project will be considered as successfully reached when the following measures of success will be obtained after the finalization of the SCALOPES project:

> The power consumption is reduced by 30 % while the performance is increased by 20 % for multi-core embedded systems in all application domains of SCALOPES.

> Compared to reference Home TV’s from 2008, power savings of >35% in 2009, and 50% at the end of the project in March 2011.

> Design tools developed allow a reduction of design time of 20% for the typical embedded system architecture designs for the application area covered.

> The resource management framework for the display controller should allow 50% increase in resource usage with 50% decrease in form factor.

T E C H N I C A L innovation

> Move from vertically-integrated platform-specific to horizontally structured multi-domain solutions

> The development of platforms to provide real-time data processing capabilities (image, video, audio, packet processing) with high energy efficiency.

> Enable high-productivity development and retargeting of software with reliability, predictability and energy efficiency.
