Chapter 7
System-Level Design and Hardware/Software Co-design
Abstract
This chapter concentrates on hardware and software co-design. It covers different models that have been used to characterize embedded applications and target architectures. It discusses a wide range of algorithms for co-synthesis and compare the models and assumptions used by these algorithms.
