Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to define an approach, tailored for control-oriented applications, to manage system cospecification, high-level partitioning, hw/sw tradeoffs and cosynthesis. Our research effort focuses on fulfilling the goal of linking high-level specifications to efficient and cost-effective hw/sw implementations by investigating techniques such as synchronous cospecification styles, direct machine code generation as well as exploiting the capability of commercial VHDL synthesis tools
