Abstract :
Separate hardware- and software-only engineering approaches cannot meet the increasingly complex requirements of embedded systems. HW/SW interface codesign would enable the integration of components in heterogeneous multiprocessors. The authors analyze the evolution of this approach and define a long-term roadmap for future success.
