An approach to mixed systems co-synthesis
Thomas Benner, Rolf Ernst · 1997
The paper presents an extension of co-synthesis for data dominated applications to include reactive processes. The extension allows for rate constraints as used in data dominated applications as well as minimum and maximum time constraints for communication and I/O which is required to define reactive behavior of control tasks. A co-synthesis approach is proposed which differentiates global process and communication scheduling, which is non preemptive, and local scheduling which includes a restricted interrupt controlled process invocation to extend the design space. Several user parameters allow design space exploration. The approach includes buffering, process pipelining ana’parallelization for control as well as for data dominated tasks on
