Hardware/Software Co-Design for Data Flow Dominated Embedded Systems

Více o knize

The book presents a co-design system that integrates hardware and software computations, essential for modern microelectronic applications requiring high computational power. Unlike many existing systems that rely on heuristics, this approach utilizes sound modeling techniques to provide precise cost and performance metrics for design decisions. It innovatively derives software implementation costs from target processor data and code size, while performance is assessed through static analysis. Hardware costs are estimated using higher-level synthesis tools, ensuring accurate design alternatives.
