Trade-Offs in HW/SW Codesign
Wolfram Hardt, Raúl Camposano · 1996
HW/SW codesign is becoming an increasingly more interesting research field because most practical systems consist of both HW and SW. In this paper we explore a bottom up HW/SW codesign strategy to investigate trade-offs in time behavior and area. A comparison of hardware and software implementations of low level modules is given. A first prototype implementation extracts time and area criteria analyzing the software code generated.
