About this book

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.
