Fast Design Space Exploration Through Validity and Quality Filtering of Subsystem Designs
Santosh G. Abraham, B. Ramakrishna Rau, Robert Schreiber · 2000
Automated design tools help to capture the benefits of customization in embedded system design while not exceeding design budgets. Such design tools must understand and exploit the hierarchical structure of design spaces, because systems of any significant complexity typically consist of components (subsystems). In order to reduce the design cost for such systems, designers develop the best component designs and restrict the number of system designs that they evaluate to those formed by combining these component designs.
