CoWare – A design environment for heterogeneous hardware/software systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the design problems encountered when designing heterogeneous systems are studied and solutions to these problems are proposed. It will be shown why a single heterogeneous specification method ranging from concept to architecture is required and why it should cover issues as modularity, design for reuse, reuse of designs and reuse of design environments. A heterogeneous system design environment based on co-specification, co-simulation and cosynthesis is proposed and its application is illustrated by means of a spread spectrum based pager system.

متن کاملAn Integrated Cosimulation Environment for Heterogeneous Systems Prototyping
In this paper, we present a hardware-software cosimulation environment for heterogeneous systems. To be an efficient and convenient verification environment for the rapid prototyping of heterogeneous systems consisting of hardware and software components, the environment supports i) modular cosimulation, ii) cosimulation acceleration, and iii) integrated user interface and internal representa...
متن کاملHolistic Approach to Design Heterogeneous Reconfigurable Systems
Existing hardware software (HW-SW) co-design methodologies mainly focus on HW-SW co-simulation to build a virtual prototyping environment that enables software design and system verification without need of making a hardware prototype. However, it fails to reduce the gape between design productivity and system complexity. It is required to target additional design problems such as design space ...

In this paper, we present a hardware-software cosimulation environment for heterogeneous systems. To be an efficient system verification environment for the rapid prototyping of heterogeneous systems, the environment provides interface transparency, simulation acceleration, smooth transition to cosynthesis, and integrated user interface and internal representation. As an experimental example, a...
متن کاملMultigranular Simulation of Heterogeneous Embedded Systems
Heterogeneous embedded systems, where configurable or application specific hardware devices (FPGAs and ASICs) are used alongside traditional processors, are becoming more and more widely used. To facilitate rapid design and development of such heterogeneous hardware/software systems, it is essential to expand the software design cycle to integrate hardware modeling and simulation. Cosimulation ...
