Description
Embedded system designers are constantly looking for new tools and techniques to help satisfy the exploding demand for consumer information
appliances and specialized industrial products. One critical barrier to the timely release of embedded system products is integrating
the design of the hardware and software systems. Hardware/software co-design is a set of methodologies and techniques specifically created
to support the concurrent design of both systems, effectively reducing multiple iterations and major redesigns. In addition to its critical
role in the development of embedded systems, many experts believe that co-design will be a key design methodology for Systems-on-a-Chip.
Readings in Hardware/Software Co-Design presents the papers that have shaped the hardware/software co-design field since
its inception in the early 90s. Field experts -- Giovanni De Micheli, Rolf Ernst, and Wayne Wolf -- introduce sections of the book, and
provide context for the paper that follow. This collection provides professionals, researchers and graduate students with a single reference
source for this critical aspect of computing design.
