How to Characterize SW and HW to Facilitate Predictable Design
Gerrit Müller · 2013
SW engineering is quite different from conventional engineering disciplines. Major difference is the lack of quantification and the related analysis techniques. We will shortly explore an example from control engineering: How are control elements characterized and analyzed? We propose a similar approach for performance characterization and analysis of digital hardware and software platforms.
