There once was a time when system design was completely serial. Entire hardware platforms were designed, prototyped, debugged, and virtually completed before any software development began. Of course, ...

What are the five core principles of hardware/software co-design? How do these principles help build a geographically diverse engineering organization that can successfully develop complex solutions ...

With mask costs for advanced technologies approaching millions of dollars, the simplest mistake can be disastrous. One flaw puts the nonrecurring engineering costs at risk of indeed “never returning, ...

For the past 20 years, the industry has sought to deploy hardware/software co-design concepts. While it is making progress, software/hardware co-design appears to have a much brighter future. In order ...

This paper will discuss design practices and guidelines that will maximize the efficiency of interrupts and interrupt handling in an embedded system IC. These practices can result in a smaller code ...

The core concepts in hardware-software co-design are getting another look, nearly two decades after this approach was first introduced and failed to catch on. What’s different this time around is the ...
