Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 資訊工程學研究所 === 100 === Automatic design space exploration (DSE) tools have been employed over years evaluate high-performance computer architectures and software designs via simulation tools. As today’s smartphones and consumer electronic devices have become so complex, DSE tools are needed to speed up the design process and produce better designs for the targeted applications. However, traditional simulation tools are too slow to report good system designs in a timely fashion. Thus, in this thesis, we propose a framework, called Android Design Space Exploration Tool (ADSET), to facilitate DSE for modern consumer electronic devices. To shorten the exploration time, we adopt a fast full-system modeling technique in our previous work and further develop a parallel DSE method to concurrently evaluate the multiple design points. In our case study, we show that ADSET is capable of modeling Android smartphones in the market and rapidly finds good designs in a large design space.
