A practical tool box for system level communication synthesis
D. Hommais, Frédéric Pétrot, Ivan Augé · 2001
This paper presents a practical approach to communication synthesis for hardware/software system specified as tasks communicating through lossless blocking channels. It relies on a limited set of templates that characterize the way data are exchanged between tasks realized either in software or in hardware. The templates are highly portable because their software part is implemented using the POSIX thread functions, and their hardware part is a hand crafted synthesizable module with a System VCI interface.
