A Consistent Design Methodology for Wireless Embedded Systems

A Consistent Design Methodology for Wireless Embedded Systems

Complexity demand of modern communication systems, particularly in the wireless domain, grows at an astounding rate, a rate so high that the available complexity and even worse the design productivity required to convert algorithms into silicon are left far behind. This effect is commonly referred to as the design productivity crisis or simply the design gap. Since the design gap is predicted t...

Partitioning methodology validation for embedded systems design

As modern embedded systems are becoming more sophisticated the demands on their applications significantly increase. A current trend is to utilize the advances of heterogeneous platforms (i.e. platform consisting of different computational units (e.g. CPU, FPGA or GPU)) where different parts of the application can be distributed among the different computational units as software and hardware i...

Design methodology for embedded computer vision systems

Computer vision has emerged as one of the most popular domains of embedded applications. The applications in this domain are characterized by complex, intensive computations along with very large memory requirements. Parallelization and multiprocessor implementations have become increasingly important for this domain, and various powerful new embedded platforms to support these applications hav...

Platform-Based Design and Software Design Methodology for Embedded Systems

0740-7475/01/$10.00 © 2001 IEEE November–December 2001 THE ESSENCE OF embedded-systems design is implementing a specific set of functions while satisfying constraints on characteristics such as performance, cost, emissions, power consumption, and weight. The choice of implementation architecture determines whether designers will implement a function as a hardware component or as software runnin...
