HW-SW Co-Synthesis: The Present and The Future
نویسنده
چکیده
As we move towards several million transistors per chip it is desirable to move to higher levels of abstraction for the purposes of automated design of systems. Increasing performance of microprocessors in the marketplace is moving the balance between software and hardware. In this environment, it is necessary to adapt our tools to create systems, which encompass these fast microprocessors rather than compete with them. It is important to adapt other peripheral components such as sensors and RF circuits into our design methodology.

Embedded Architecture Description Language
In the state-of-the-art hardware/software (HW/SW) codesign of embedded systems, there lacks of sufficient support for architectural specifications across HW/SW boundaries. Such an architectural specification ought to capture both hardware and software components and their interactions, and facilitate effective design exploitation of HW/SW trade-offs and scalable HW/SW co-verification. In this p...
متن کاملPilot – A Platform - Based HW / SW Synthesis System for FPSoC *
FPSoC platforms. In order to automate this process as much as possible, a System-level Data Model (SDM) is built in Pilot to provide a basis for developing system-level HW/SW synthesis algorithms and an abstraction for accepting different types of design specifications. A preliminary HW/SW co-design flow based on SDM is also proposed. Many key issues such as profiling, HW/SW partitioning, sched...
متن کاملFuture-based On-line Integrated HW/SW Partitioning and Co-scheduling for Reconfigurable Computing Systems
Reconfigurable computing systems allow executing tasks in a true multitasking manner. Such systems share the reconfigurable device and processing unit as computing resources which leads to highly dynamic allocation situations. To manage such systems at runtime, a reconfigurable operating system is needed. The main part of this operating system is resource management unit which performs HW/SW pa...
متن کاملAn integrated environment for HW/SW co-design based on a CAL specification and SW/HW code generators
The possibility of specifying both SW and HW components using the same language is a very attractive design approach. However, despite the efforts spent for implementing such approach using common programming languages such as C and C++, it has not yet shown to be viable and efficient for complex design. The main reason is the difficulty of expressing architectural properties at the level of a ...
متن کاملAn Approach to Hardware Synthesis from a System Java Specification*
In this paper we present a new approach to HW/SW co-design starting from a system specification using the Java programming language. A novel compiler front-end is described that extracts all the needed information of the given specification and represents it in an Object-Oriented (OO) intermediate representation graph. It exploits diffe rent levels of parallelism to permit efficient binding ont...
متن کاملHardware/Software Co-design and Verification Methodology from System Level Based on System Dependence Graph
System Dependence Graph (SDG) is a graph representation which shows dependencies among statements / expressions in a design. In this paper, we propose a new HW/SW co-design methodology based on SDG. In our method, any combination of C / C++ / SpecC descriptions is acceptable as input designs so that design functions can be specified flexibly. First, the input descriptions are analyzed and verif...
