Cim++: An Object-Oriented Design and Simulation Framework for Education of Hardware/Software Codesign
نویسنده
چکیده
Hardware/software codesign deals with the design, refinement, optimization, and realization of heterogeneous embedded systems. Training the current hardware designers with this novel design paradigm with exploitation of their priori knowledge about RT Level hardware implementation is the main concern of the proposed framework, Cim++. This paper presents the structure of Cim++ which enables C++ to be used as an OO hardware/software codesign that supports concurrency in description and inheritance in design. Also provided, are examples and comparisons that present the power of Cim++ as a leading hardware design oriented

DESC: A Hardware-Software Codesign Methodology for Distributed Embedded Systems
The hardware-software codesign of distributed embedded systems is a more challenging task, because each phase of codesign, such as copartitioning, cosynthesis, cosimulation, and coverification must consider the physical restrictions imposed by the distributed characteristics of such systems. Distributed systems often contain several similar parts for which design reuse techniques can be applied...

Modeling and simulation of processing plants are widely used in industry. Construction of a mathematical model for a plant is a time-consuming and error-prone task. In light of extensive advancements in computer science (both hardware and software), computers are becoming a necessary instrument in industrial activities. Many software tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of proces...
متن کاملA Feature-based Approach to Embedded System Hardware and Software Co-design
Correspnding author, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT An embedded system is a hybrid of hardware and softwarethat combines software flexibility and hardware real-time performance. The co-design of hardware and software is the most critical but difficult issue in embedded system design. In this paper, we propose a novel feature-based approach to the codesign of hardware and software in embedded ...
متن کاملDeclarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey
One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
متن کاملAn Object-Oriented Layered Approach to Interfaces for Hardware/Software Codesign of Embedded Systems
The Canadian Microelectronics Corporation1 has developed and distributed a Rapid Prototyping Board (RPB) to facilitate research in Hardware/Software (HW/SW) Codesign, case studies, applications and prototyping of projects in embedded systems. This research develops a series of layers between hardware and software, exploiting the dynamically reconfigurable hardware of the RPB and creating the co...
