Approaches to Co-Design
Hardware and Software Co-Design
| Sam: | A partial solution. People have looked for ways to do software development concurrently (in parallel) with the hardware design. The goal is hardware/software co-design, which means that both can proceed at the same time. We could fix problems uncovered by either group, earlier and where most appropriate. |
| Nora: | Is there a way to do that? |
| Sam: | We have several approaches to provide an early hardware model for software development. These include hardware simulation, hardware emulation, rapid prototyping, and virtual prototyping.
Hardware/software integration and co-verification can be done incrementally, if a hardware model can be generated quickly. Then the early software can start testing ... |
