Virtual prototyping is a more and more accepted technology to enable early software development in the design flow of embedded systems. Since virtual prototypes are typically constructed manually, their value during design space exploration is limited. On the other hand, system synthesis approaches often start from abstract and executable models, allowing for fast design space exploration, considering only predefined design decisions. Usually, the output of these approaches is an ad hoc implementation, which is hard to reuse in further refinement steps. In this paper, we propose a methodology for automatic generation of heterogeneous MPSoC virtual prototypes starting with models for streaming applications. The advantage of the proposed approach lies in the fact that it is open to subsequent design steps. The applicability of the proposed approach to real-world applications is demonstrated using a Motion JPEG decoder application that is automatically refined into several virtual prototypes within seconds, which are correct by construction, instead of using error-prone manual refinement, which typically requires several days. © 2011 IEEE.
