Abstract :
This paper presents our integrated system-level design tool set, named Advanced SystemBuilder. Advanced SystemBuilder supports overall methodology for system design and design space exploration, and provides programming model of systems, automatic synthesis capabilities for FPGA-based prototyping, cosimulation and execution profiling. A case study of MPEG4 decoder design shows the effectiveness of the design space exploration methodology with Advanced SystemBuilder.
