Synopsis
Introduction to Hardware-Software Co-Design presents a number of issues of fundamental importance for the design of integrated hardware software products such as embedded, communication, and multimedia systems. This book is a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of hardware/software co-design. Co-design is still a new field but one which has substantially matured over the past few years. This book, written by leading international experts, covers all the major topics including:
- fundamental issues in co-design;
- hardware/software co-synthesis algorithms;
- prototyping and emulation;
- target architectures;
- compiler techniques;
- specification and verification;
- system-level specification.
Special chapters describe in detail several leading-edge co-design systems including Cosyma, LYCOS, and Cosmos.
Introduction to Hardware-Software Co-Design contains sufficient material for use by teachers and students in an advanced course of hardware/software co-design. It also contains extensive explanation of the fundamental concepts of the subject and the necessary background to bring practitioners up-to-date on this increasingly important topic.
Booknews
A textbook for an advanced graduate course, which grew out of a series of Ph.D. courses in Europe and Japan. Assumes some familiarity with concurrent programming languages, field- programmable gate arrays, and such matters. The topics considered include essential issues in co-design, co-synthesis algorithms, prototyping and emulation, target architectures, compilation techniques and tools for embedded processor architectures, design specification and verification, the cosyma system, hardware/software partitioning using the LYCOS system, and Cosmos as a transformational co-design tool for multiprocessor architectures.
