Hardware Software Co Design For Data Flow Dominated Embedded Systems

Download or read book Hardware/Software Co-Design for Data Flow Dominated Embedded Systems written by Ralf Niemann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-10-31 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduces different tasks of hardware/software co-design, including system specification, hardware/software partitioning, co-synthesis, and co-simulation. Summarizes and classifies co-design tools and methods for these tasks, and presents the co-design tool COOL, useful for solving co-design tasks for the class of data-flow dominated embedded systems. Primary emphasis is on hardware/software partitioning and the co-synthesis phase and their coupling. A mathematical formulation of the hardware/software partitioning problem is given, and several novel approaches are presented and compared for solving the partitioning problem.
