Abstract :
As part of ARPA´s RASSP technology program, we developed a hardware/software cosynthesis algorithm that was prototyped in C++. This initial prototype was developed in C++ using PCCTS, Tcl, Tcl/TK, and Tcl-DP. When this environment became unwieldy due to changing hardware development platforms and software packages, a second prototype was built in Java. This paper describes architectural features of the prototype and how they were addressed in Java
