Hardware/Software Co-synthesis of DSP Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter focuses on the automated mapping of high level specifications of DSP applications into implementation platforms that employ programmable DSPs. Since programmable DSPs are often used in conjunction with other types of programmable processors, such as microcontrollers and general-purpose microprocessors, and with various types of hardware modules, such as FPGAs, and ASIC circuitry, this mapping task, in general, is one of cosynthesis — the joint synthesis of both hardware and software — for a heterogeneous multiprocessor.

Hardware-software co-design: Tools for architecting systems-on-a-chip
| This paper examines the issues and progress in the design of highly integrated microelectronic systems. These microsystems rely on an array of diverse components such as processors, memory, network interfaces, graphics and DSP `cores.' In particular, we discuss problems in the combined design of hardware and software for these systems. We present a decomposition of the co-design problem, and ...
متن کاملHardware/software co-design for DSP applications via the HMS framework
The design of computer systems that incorporate both standardized oo-the-shelf processors, or software, as well as specialized hardware is referred to as hard-ware/software (hw/sw) co-design. This paper studies the problem and presents a system, the Hardware/Multi-Software Co-design (HMS) system, of obtaining the best hw/sw connguration for DSP applications. New algorithms for performing partit...

Test driven development (TDD) is one of the key Agile practices. A version of CppUnitLite was modified to meet the memory and speed constraints present on self-contained, high performance, digital signal processing (DSP) systems. The specific characteristics of DSP systems required that the concept of refactoring be extended to include concepts such as refactoring for speed. We provide an exp...
متن کاملDesign Issues in Hardware/Software Co-Design
The complexity of designing electronic systems and products is constantly increasing. The increasing complexity is due to the factors such as: portability, increased complexities of software and hardware, low power and high speed applications etc. Due to all these factors the electronic system design is moving towards System on Chip (SoC) with heterogeneous components like DSP, FPGA etc. This c...
متن کاملObject-Oriented Modeling and Co-Simulation of Embedded Systems
This paper presents the modeling and co-simulation capabilities of S 3 E 2 S, a design environment for electronic systems that can be built as a combination of analog and digital parts and software. S 3 E 2 S is based on a distributed, object-oriented system model, where abstract objects are initially used to express complex behavior and may be later refined into digital or analog hardware and ...
