Abstract Heterogeneous systems have the potential to achieve enhanced performance as well as cost-effectiveness over homogeneous systems when the application domain is known since they can match the problem structure more closely. A formal design method, SOS, has been developed which can be used to synthesize optimal heterogeneous systems for given applications. The method involves creation of a Mixed Integer-Linear Programming (MILP) model and solution of the model. In this paper, first we show how to apply the method to application-specific systems with bus-style interconnection between the processors. We further demonstrate how to extend the method to deal with memory costs explicitly. Several experiments were performed with the original as well as the extended MILP models. These results indicate that it is important to include memory costs explicitly at design time.
