A concurrent hardware software codesign environment, PeaCE, is presented in this paper. PeaCE provides the designer with an environment in which the designer can design hardware and software components in a concurrent and cooperative manner. PeaCE covers the codesign which consists of specification, algorithm validation, partition, cosimulation, synthesis, and testing on prototyping board. The codesign workflow shown in this paper is demonstrated with 16-QAM modulation example. 1 Introduction A concurrent engineering of system design, known as codesign, is an emerging technology in design automation field for reducing design cost and shortening turnaround time. To avoid problems of traditional design process, codesign concept has gained more and more attention among system designers[3, 7, 8, 9]. For concurrent and interactive design, the codesign system needs to provide the following capabilities: unified hardware/software representation, hardware /software partitioning, heterogeneous ...
