Reconfigurable Computing marks a revolutionary and hot topic that bridges the gap
between the separate worlds of hardware and software design—the key feature of …

We survey recent developments in high level synthesis technology for VLSI design. The
need for higher-level design automation tools are discussed first. We then describe some …

This paper addresses the design of reactive real-time embedded systems. Such systems are
often heterogeneous in implementation technologies and design styles, for example by …

Featuring contributions from major technology vendors, industry consortia, and government
and private research establishments, the Industrial Communication Technology Handbook …

Embedded systems are informally defined as a collection of programmable parts
surrounded by ASICs and other standard components, that interact continuously with an …

This paper describes the LYCOS system, an experimental co-synthesis environment. We
present the motivation and philosophy of LYCOS and after an overview of the entire system …

System-Level Design Techniques for Energy-Efficient Embedded Systems addresses the
development and validation of co-synthesis techniques that allow an effective design of …

During the past few years there has been an dramatic upsurge in research and
development, implementations of new technologies, and deployments of actual solutions …

An algorithm for the constrained hardware/software partitioning (assignment and
scheduling) problem is presented. The key feature of the algorithm is the adaptive objective …

Partitioning a system '3 functionality among interacting hardware and software components
is an important part of system design. We introduce a new partitioning approach that caters …
