Kevoree Modeling Framework (KMF): Efficient modeling techniques for runtime use
The creation of Domain Specific Languages(DSL) counts as one of the main
goals in the field of Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDSE). The main
purpose of these DSLs is to facilitate the manipulation of domain specific
concepts, by providing developers with specific tools for their domain of
expertise. A natural approach to create DSLs is to reuse existing modeling
standards and tools. In this area, the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) has
rapidly become the defacto standard in the MDSE for building Domain Specific
Languages (DSL) and tools based on generative techniques. However, the use of
EMF generated tools in domains like Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing
or Models@Runtime reaches several limitations. In this paper, we identify
several properties the generated tools must comply with to be usable in other
domains than desktop-based software systems. We then challenge EMF on these
properties and describe our approach to overcome the limitations. Our approach,
implemented in the Kevoree Modeling Framework (KMF), is finally evaluated
according to the identified properties and compared to EMF.Comment: ISBN 978-2-87971-131-7; N° TR-SnT-2014-11 (2014
LEGaTO: first steps towards energy-efficient toolset for heterogeneous computing
LEGaTO is a three-year EU H2020 project which started in December 2017. The LEGaTO project will leverage task-based programming models to provide a software ecosystem for Made-in-Europe heterogeneous hardware composed of CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs and dataflow engines. The aim is to attain one order of magnitude energy savings from the edge to the converged cloud/HPC.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
