Abstract :
The paper introduces a novel method of specification, simulation and partitioning on the system level using a common and convenient language (C++). Special base classes provide explicit concurrency and additional possibilities for analyzing and simulating the whole system during an early design phase. The hardware/software partitioning algorithm uses the results of the analysis and simulation in order to partition the specification into hardware and software
