Software performance estimation strategies in a system-level design tool
Jwahar R. Bammi, Wido Kruijtzer, Luciano Lavagno, E. Harcourt, Mihai Teodor Lazarescu · 2000
High-level cost and performance estimation, coupled with a fast hardware/software co-simulation framework, is a key enabler to a fast embedded system design cycle. Unfortunately, the problem of deriving such estimates without a detailed implementation available is difficult.
