Model-based approach is widely adopted to develop embedded system to cope with the everincreasing complexity of system design under relentless time-to-market pressure. In this paper we present our experience of H.264 decoder algorithm specification and simulation with two model-based design environments, Simulink and PeaCE. Formal data-driven model of PeaCE can specify multi-rate DSP systems mo...
