Co Synthesis of Hardware and Software for Digital Embedded Systems formatIsbn:Softcover 9781461359654 Georg Hermann 9783642696978 Georg Hermann Eight additional contributions were selected as short papers and have been published in a separate volume of local proceedings by the organizing institution The ability to perform detailed analysis of timing performance provides the opportunity of improving the system definition by creating better phototypes 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
