Abstract :
This paper describes an integrated performance based modeling tool (PBMT) developed to facilitate the performance-based design of hardware/software systems. It is used to aid in a senior level design project and other design exercises. Task graphs are specified as control flow and/or dataflow with the ability to model real-time applications. The application model is executed on a variety of SystemC architectures for performance analysis.
