Abstract

The authors present a software-oriented approach to hardware-software partitioning, which avoids restrictions on the software semantics, and an iterative partitioning process based on " hardware extraction" controlled by a cast function. This process is used in Cosyma, an experimental cosynthesis system for embedded controllers. As an example, the authors demonstrate the extraction of coprocessors for loops. They present results for several benchmark designs.
