RESUMO

Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) are systems where there is an union between computing and physics. The CPS will be used in several areas, forming a new era of systems or devices and could be anywhere, being used by anyone and anything. Applications for CPS include highly reliable medical systems and devices, traffic control and security, advanced automotive, process control, energy conservation, environmental control, aviation, instrumentation, control of critical infrastructure, defense systems, manufacturing, and smart structures. So, CPS scenario needs requirements design of embedded systems, composed by processors with new features in addition to I/O processing, power consumption, and communication. Then, the future of processor architectures should also have security, fault tolerance, architectural adaptation and flexibility to various and different scenarios. In this context, in this thesis, it is proposed a modular architecture to multicore processor (AMM) to use in the CPS. It is composed by multicore processors, dedicated hardware or both. Thus, in this thesis, we have proposed one processor architecture and we have done verification based on simulations using Modelsim software and simulation tools for integrated circuits, and we have running applications programs to demonstrate the main features of the AMM architecture. We also show a prototype of AMM using FPGA as well as implementation data such as FPGA usage and resources in silicon area. It is also presented an ASIC prototype of AMM core. The prototype architecture of the AMM was analyzed with critical applications which are used in CPS, such as security, redundancy and fault tolerance, and these tests suggest that the future CPS processors must have those characteristics. Thus, the thesis shows that these aspects can be included in embedded systems with dedicated features to multicore applications and systems used in CPS.
