Embedded systems are usually composed of several interacting components such as
custom or application specific processors, ASICs, memory blocks, and the associated …

System-level design issues are gaining increasing attention, as behavioral synthesis tools
and methodologies mature. We present the SpecSyn system-level design environment …

Consumer demand and improvements in hardware have caused distributed real-time
embedded systems to rapidly increase in complexity. As a result, designers faced with time …

Modern digital systems consist of a complex mix of computational resources, eg
microprocessors, memory elements and reconfigurable logic. System partitioning–the …

The Kernighan/Lin heuristic, also known as min-cut, has been extended very successfully for
circuit partitioning over several decades. Those extensions customized the heuristic and its …

Many computer-aided design problems involve solutions that require the partitioning of a
large sequential program written in a language such as C or VHDL. Such partitioning can …

An essential problem for hardware/software codesign is the partitioning of an application
onto the computational resources. This paper presents a novel approach for the task level …

Incorporating functional partitioning into a synthesis methodology leads to several important
advantages. In functional partitioning, we first partition a functional specification into smaller …

In heterogeneous system design, partitioning of the functional specifications into hardware
(HW) and software (SW) components is an important procedure. Often, an HW platform is …

Hollow Al2O3 spheres with∼ 2 μm in diameter and∼ 200 nm in wall thickness were
prepared successfully via the calcination of the Al/AlOOH· nH2O core‐shell particles …
