چکیده
A hardware/software trade-off is the establishment of the division of responsibility for performing system functions between the software, firmware and hardware. This is part and parcel of the fundamental process of defining computer architecture. It begins the day a computer is conceived and may be carried on by an ever widening group of individuals until the last computer of a given model is retired. There are areas of the trade-off which are the sole preserve of the manufacturer and his hardware/software team. Other areas of the trade-off are the responsibility of the user, or independent equipment manufacturers.

Ethical Perspective: Five Unacceptable Trade-offs on the Path to Universal Health Coverage
This article discusses what ethicists have called “unacceptable trade-offs” in health policy choices related to universal health coverage (UHC). Since the fiscal space is constrained, trade-offs need to be made. But some trade-offs are unacceptable on the path to universal coverage. Unacceptable choices include, among other examples from low-income countries, to expand coverage for services wit...
متن کاملExploiting Cryptographic Architectures over Hardware Vs. Software Implementations: Advantages and Trade-Offs
Cryptographic modules can be implemented in both hardware and software. Although software cryptographic implementations are cost-effective and more flexible, they seem to provide a much lower level of security in relation to their hardware equivalents. The uncontrolled memory access, the vulnerabilities imposed by the OS and the facility of modifying software implementations are some of the sec...
متن کاملDefining Pathways and Trade-offs Toward Universal Health Coverage; Comment on “Ethical Perspective: Five Unacceptable Trade-offs on the Path to Universal Health Coverage”
The World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) World Health Report 2010, “Health systems financing, the path to universal coverage,” promoted universal health coverage (UHC) as an aspirational objective for country health systems. Yet, in addition to the dimensions of services and coverage, distribution of coverage in the population, and financial risk protection highlighted by the report, the conside...
متن کاملResource-Aware Programming Invited Paper
Traditional wisdom in programming language design suggests that there is a trade-off between expressive power and static guarantees. We describe a novel schema for designing a class of languages that we call Resource-aware Programming (RAP) languages. By taking into account the natural distinction between the development platform and the deployment platform for embedded software, RAP languages ...
متن کاملArbitrary hardware software trade-offs
This paper discusses a novel transformation based design methodology and its use in the design of complex programmable VLSI systems. During the life cycle of a complex system the optimal trade-off between, partially, implementing in hardware or software is changing. This is due to varying system requirements (short time-to-market, low-cost, low-power etc.) and improving device technology. The p...
