In today’s semiconductor landscape, scale is becoming a bigger battleground—not only for chipmakers, but increasingly for hyperscalers, cloud giants, and other systems companies, too. They're all ...

The core concepts in hardware-software co-design are getting another look, nearly two decades after this approach was first introduced and failed to catch on. What’s different this time around is the ...

San Jose, Calif. — Gearing up for this week's Embedded Systems Conference here, two leading electronic system-level (ESL) design providers are expanding into the software development tool market with ...

What are the five core principles of hardware/software co-design? How do these principles help build a geographically diverse engineering organization that can successfully develop complex solutions ...

Engineering teams must coordinate across hardware and software domains as system-on-chip (SoC) designs scale in complexity. Designers must verify that register definitions remain accurate and ...

This paper presents a new hardware/software partitioning methodology for SoCs. Target architecture is composed of a RISC host and one or more configurable microprocessors. First, a system is ...

Hardware/software co-design has been a goal for several decades, but success has been limited. More recently, progress has been made in optimizing a processor as well as the addition of accelerators ...
