Virtualization is the abstraction of details. Algorithms and programminglanguages provide abstraction, too. Virtualization of hardware and embeddedsystems is becoming more and more important in heterogeneous environments andnetworks, e.g., distributed and material-integrated sensor networks.Communication and data processing with a broad range of hardware and low-levelprotocols can be unified and accessed uniquely by introducing virtualizationlayers implemented directly in hardware on chip. Hardware design is today stillcomponent-driven (like a circuit board), rather than transforming algorithms asan abstraction layer directly into hardware designs. Programs and protocols arealgorithms, so do not handle them as devices like in traditional high-levelsynthesis design flows! Complex reactive systems with dominant and complexcontrol paths play an increasing role in SoC-design. The major contribution toconcurrency appears at the control path level. This article gives an in-depthintroduction to SoC-design methodology using the Highest-Level Synthesis ConProcompiler framework and a process-oriented programming language that provides aprogramming model based on concurrently executing and communicating sequentialprocesses (CCSP) with an extensive set of interprocess-communicationprimitives. Circuits are modelled and programmed on an algorithmic level, moreconvenient and natural than component-driven designs. Extended case studies ofa smart communication protocol router and an advanced stack-based processorproviding a programmatical virtualization layer are shown and evaluated. Bothare used together as a smart node architecture deployed in high densitysensor-actuator-networks, e.g., for material-integrated intelligent systems.
