The increasing complexity of embedded applications combined with the advances in chip integration make the design process a very challenging task. Due to this rising complexity, the design under performance, area and consumption constraints of a system-on-a-chip (SOC) composed of mixed software-hardware units, becomes increasingly intricate. This paper presents a method and an associated tool (CODEF) which allow the designer to do an automatic and/or interactive system design space exploration in order to construct cost effective embedded real-time architectures dedicated to complex signal processing applications. The method is based on a recursive partitioning algorithm followed by a communication synthesis procedure.
