CoWare - A design environment for heterogeneous hardware/software systems
Karl Van Rompaey, Diederik Verkest, Ivo Bolsens, Hugo De Man · 1996
In this paper the design problems encountered when designing heterogeneous systems are studied and solutions to these problems are proposed. It will be shown why a single heterogeneous specification method ranging from concept to architecture is required and why it should cover issues as modularity, design for reuse, reuse of designs and reuse of design environments. A heterogeneous system design environment based on co-specification, co-simulation and co-synthesis is proposed and its application is illustrated by means of a spread spectrum based pager system.
