Abstract

To aid in the functional partitioning of a system into interacting hardware and software components, fast yet accurate estimations of hardware size are necessary. We introduce a technique for obtaining such estimates in two orders of magnitude less time than previous approaches without sacrificing substantial accuracy, by incrementally updating a design model for a changed partition rather than re-estimating entirely.
