Abstract :
This paper deals with exploration of hardware-software design space. The hardware/software partitioning is illustrated using a real-time robot arm controller. Several architectural solutions are discussed with regard to their performance and cost. The goal is to select the best solution that satisfies the real-time constraints and minimizes the cost
