Interface Synthesis in Embedded HW/SW Systems
Guy Gogniat, Michel Auguin, Cécile Belleudy · 1997
Since several years, complex embedded systems are used in an expanding number of domains. Complexity and time to market constraints impose to introduce major improvements in CAD methodologies. Hardware-Software codesign attempts to deduce automatically heterogeneous system solutions from a high level specification. The interface between heterogeneous resources can become critical in time and/or area for telecommunication applications, hence it is important to define techniques that minimize the communication overhead cost. In this paper we present an original method to synthesize efficient interfaces.
