Abstract

Outlining the general characteristics of embedded systems is an arduous task. In fact, the design of such kind of systems is heavily influenced by functional and non-functional requirements, and it is based on quite complex design flows. So, there is often the need to adopt a HW/SW co-design methodology able to support the designers during high-level phases so that they can perform early analysis before dealing with low-level ones. Such a methodology, to be effective, should consider also performance estimation and ESL HW/SW timing co-simulation. The goal of this paper is to introduce a novel and fast performance metric able to speed-up the early analysis and design space exploration to identify the more promising architectures for different application domains. In particular, the paper presents a framework to evaluate such a metric and to perform some preliminary analysis to evaluate its meaningfulness when exploited in the HW/SW domain.
