Evolutionary approach to hardware/software partitioning
Xiaobo Sharon Hu, G. Greenwood · IEE Proceedings - Computers and Digital Techniques · 1998
The authors present an approach to hardware/software codesign of real-time embedded systems. Two of the difficulties associated with codesign are handling tradeoffs among multiple attributes and exploring a large design space. They use a combination of techniques from the evolutionary computation and utility theory fields to address these problem areas. A real-time microcontroller-based design example is presented to illustrate this approach.
