Abstract

We present the SpecSyn system-level design environment supp orting the sp ecify-explor e-refine (SER) designparadigm. This thr ee-step appr oach includes precise specification of system functionality, rapid explor ation of numerous system-level design options, and refinement of the specification into one r efle cting the chosen option. A system-level design option c onsists of an allocation of system components like standard and custom processors, and a partitioning of functionality among those components. Focusing on SpecSyn 'sexploration te chniques, we emphasize its two-phase estimation appr oach and highlight experiments using SpecSyn.
