Abstract :
This paper describes some techniques currently under research to explore hardware-software tradeoffs during a system development. We show that the moving of SW operations to HW can be further improved if the source code is modified in order to increase the overall parallelism of the system. We then show the limits of this approach and a new RISC architecture under research to overcome this limitations
