    145 In the SoCLin platform, the DSX tool is used for design space exploration.
    146 It helps the system designer to describe the coarse grain parallelism of the software application
    147 as a Task and Communication Graph, to configure the hardware architecture, and to map the
    148 multi-task software application on the multi-processors architecture.
    149 The DSX toll will be extended to support the FPGA target.
