A Framework for Embedded Hardware on Furniture Smartification Design

An Embedded Language Framework for Hardware Compilation

Various languages have been proposed to describe synchronous hardware at an abstract, yet synthesisable level. We propose a uniform framework within which such languages can be developed, and combined together for simulation, synthesis, and verification. We do this by embedding the languages in Lava — a hardware description language (HDL), itself embedded in the functional programming language ...

A Hierarchical C2RTL Framework for Hardware Configurable Embedded Systems

Internet-based hardware/software co-design framework for embedded 3D graphics applications

Advances in technology are making it possible to run three-dimensional (3D) graphics applications on embedded and handheld devices. In this article, we propose a hardware/software co-design environment for 3D graphics application development that includes the 3D graphics software, OpenGL ES application programming interface (API), device driver, and 3D graphics hardware simulators. We developed...

A Novel Hardware/Software Co-Design Framework

A novel hardware/software co-design framework (CoDe-X) is presented in this paper, where an Xputer is used as universal accelerator based on a reconfigurable datapath hardware. CoDe-X accepts C-programs and carries out both, the profiling-driven host/accelerator partitioning for performance optimization, and the resource-driven sequential/structural partitioning of the accelerator source code t...

Hardware Software Co-Design of Embedded Systems

This paper surveys the design of embedded computer systems, which use software running on programmable computers to implement system functions. Creating an embedded computer system which meets its performance, cost, and design time goals is a hardware-software co-design p r o b l e w h e design of the hardware and software components influence each other. This paper emphasizes a historical appr...
