HEPSYCODE-RT: a Real-Time Extension for an ESL HW/SW Co-Design Methodology

This work(1) focuses on the definition of a methodology for handling embedded real-time applications, starting from an existing HW/SW co-design methodology able to support the design of dedicated heterogeneous parallel systems. The state-of-the-art related to similar tools and methodologies is presented and the reference framework with the proposed extension to the real-time world is introduced. A case study is then described to show a design space exploration able to consider such an extension.
