{"product_id":"9781461359654","title":"Co-Synthesis of Hardware and Software for Digital Embedded Systems","description":"Co-Synthesis of Hardware and Software for Digital Embedded  Systems, with a Foreword written by Giovanni De Micheli,  presents techniques that are useful in building complex embedded  systems. These techniques provide a competitive advantage over purely  hardware or software implementations of time-constrained embedded  systems.   Recent advances in chip-level synthesis have made it possible to  synthesize application-specific circuits under strict timing  constraints. This work advances the state of the art by formulating  the problem of system synthesis using both application-specific as  well as reprogrammable components, such as off-the-shelf processors.  Timing constraints are used to determine what part of the system  functionality must be delegated to dedicated application-specific  hardware while the rest is delegated to software that runs on the  processor. This co-synthesis of hardware and software from behavioral  specifications makes it possible to realize real-time embedded systems  using off-the-shelf parts and a relatively small amount of  application-specific circuitry that can be mapped to semi-custom VLSI  such as gate arrays. The ability to perform detailed analysis of  timing performance provides the opportunity of improving the system  definition by creating better phototypes.   Co-Synthesis of Hardware and Software for Digital Embedded  Systems is of interest to CAD researchers and developers who want  to branch off into the expanding field of hardware\/software co-design,  as well as to digital system designers who are interested in the  present power and limitations of CAD techniques and their likely  evolution.
