The market for embedded systems is growing rapidly while applications are being designed to expose the inherent parallelism of the underlying algorithms. Conventional processors and on-chip communication architectures do not scale well with the stringent performance and power requirements of embedded applications. Current trends in chip design indicate increasing number of transistors on chip and on-chip availability of diverse technologies. These trends have enabled the fabrication of multi-processor chips interconnected with integrated optical communication architectures. This technology promises to create systems that provide high performance and low power consumption. However, the manual design of such systems is a time consuming and error prone process, thereby negatively impacting the cost and quality of such systems.

嵌入式系统市场正在快速增长，同时应用程序的设计也暴露了底层算法固有的并行性。传统的处理器和片上通信架构无法很好地适应嵌入式应用严格的性能和功耗要求。当前芯片设计的趋势表明芯片上晶体管数量的增加以及各种技术的片上可用性。这些趋势使得与集成光通信架构互连的多处理器芯片的制造成为可能。该技术有望创建具有高性能和低功耗的系统。然而，此类系统的手动设计是一个耗时且容易出错的过程，从而对此类系统的成本和质量产生负面影响。
