Abstract :
COMET is a system-level C and VHDL hardware/software codesign methodology. This process is made possible through the use of a rules file which adds timing and area constraints to the C and VHDL descriptions that the languages do not support. The methodology of COMET is functional and has been tested. A neural network program has been implemented to perform automated hardware/software partitioning
