Abstract :
Presents an automated approach to communication architecture synthesis with real-time constraints. Based on a pre-partitioned hardware/software specification and given communication constraints, a thorough analysis of different communication structures is carried out using performance models of communication links in order to determine an optimized communication architecture. The complete hardware/software system is emulated as an architecture-specific prototype on a real-time platform in order to verify the derived communication architecture as well as the hardware/software partitioning
