A Survey on Hardware/Software Codesign Representation Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In hardware/software codesign, modeling is a very important issue. The model must capture the features of the system and describe its functionality. The design cycle must be based on formal representations so that the synthesis of a design from specification to implementation can be carried out systematically. Many models have been proposed for representing HW/SW systems. This report is the result of a survey on hardware/software codesign representation models. It relates the characteristics of several existing models and compares their properties. This work is encompassed in the SAVE project, which aims to study the specification and verification of heterogeneous electronic systems. The main objective of this survey is to explore the field of modeling of heterogeneous systems.

متن کاملDESC: 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...

Stanford lhversity nterest in hardware-software codesign has been growing steadily in recent years. Particularly interesting is the trend toward establishing an integrated design methodology for hardware and software systems that could be supported by computer-aided design tools. Practical CAD environments for codesign in the short term are credible, thanks to the maturing of hardware synthesis...
متن کاملA Decade of Hardware/Software Codesign
38 Computer A Decade of Hardware/ Software Codesign T he term hardware/software codesign surfaced in the early 1990s to describe a con-fluence of problems in integrated circuit (IC) design. Microprocessors had been in use for over a decade at that point, but microprocessor-based systems were almost exclusively board-level systems. A class of designers who were largely separate from IC designers...
