The decomposition of a software reference design into two components — the portion to be realized in hardware and the portion that will run as software on the processor — is the essence of the partitioning problem.
For systems based on Platform FPGAs, partitioning is a subset of the more general problem addressed by hardware/software codesign. In codesign, hardware refers to the broader definition of hardware (physical, nonsequential, and possibly analog components) and, as such, involves assigning components of the application to a wide variety ...
