Model refinement for hardware-software codesign
Jie Gong, Daniel D. Gajski, Smita Bakshi · European Design and Test Conference · 1996
The model refinement task in system-level synthesis transforms a specification from a functional model to a chosen implementation model. In this paper, we categorize several commonly-used implementation models and then describe a set of refinement procedures to transform a specification to each of these implementation models. We also present a set of experimental results to compare the implementation models and to demonstrate how the proposed approach is used to explore different implementation styles.
