Multicore and multiprocessor SoC (MPSoC) started a new computing era but brought a twofold challenge: building HW easy to use by SW designers and building SW that fully exploits HW capabilities. The main domains addressed at MPSoC Forum are related to adapting HW and SW for better cost, performances and energy efficiency of next generation computing systems. Emerging SW and HW design technologies and architectures combined with advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies are explored to build energy efficient Manycore and many IP architectures serving advanced computing (image, vision, and cloud) and distributed networked systems.
