Co Synthesis of Hardware and Software for Digital Embedded Systems formatIsbn:Softcover 9781461359654 THE SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENT'S WAYS OF 9783642357213 THE SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENT'S WAYS OF COMMUNICATION 5 Eight additional contributions were selected as short papers and have been published in a separate volume of local proceedings by the organizing institution Timing constraints are used to determine what part of the system functionality must be delegated to dedicated application specific hardware while the rest is delegated to software that runs on the processor This co synthesis of hardware and software from behavioral specifications makes it possible to realize real time embedded systems using off the shelf parts and a relatively small amount of application specific circuitry that can be mapped to semi custom VLSI such as gate arrays
