Prestigious Test of Time award for 2007 publication

20 October 2022

On October 11th, Andy Pimentel and Simon Polstra of the Informatics Institute, received the prestigious Test of Time award from the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Hardware/Software Codesign and System Synthesis. The paper published in 2007 proposed a groundbreaking new method for automated, system-level synthesis of multi-core hardware/software embedded systems. The Test of Time award is handed out, after a rigorous selection process, to a paper that has demonstrated to have had a major and lasting impact on the research field.
We feel extremely honoured and delighted with this award because this is really an appreciation from the research field that indicates that our work has had and continues to have a great impact within the field.

The paper entitled ‘A Framework for Rapid System-level Exploration, Synthesis, and Programming of Multimedia MP-SoCs’ that was published in 2007 at the same conference and proposed a groundbreaking new method for automated, system-level synthesis of multi-core hardware/software embedded systems.
