Abstract

This paper presents a hardware-software co-design methodologyfor resource constrained SoC fabricated in a deep submicron process.The novelty of the methodology consists in contemplatingcritical hardware and layout aspects during system level designfor latency optimization. The effect of interconnect parasiticand delays is considered for characterizing bus speed anddata communication times. The methodology permits coarse andmedium grained resource sharing across tasks for execution speedupthrough superior usage of hardware. The paper offers experimentsfor the proposed co-design methodology, including a JPEG SoC.
