Embedded systems are usually composed of several interacting
components such as custom or application specific processors,
ASICs, memory blocks, and the associated communication
infrastructure. The development of tools to support the design of
such systems requires a further step from high-level synthesis
towards a higher abstraction level. The lack of design tools
accepting a system-level specification of a complete system, which
may include both hardware and software components, is one of the
major bottlenecks in the design of embedded systems. Thus, more and
more research efforts have been spent on issues related to
system-level synthesis. This book addresses the two most active
research areas of design automation today: high-level synthesis and
system-level synthesis. In particular, a transformational approach
to synthesis from VHDL specifications is described. System
Synthesis with VHDL provides a coherent view of system synthesis
which includes the high-level and the system-level synthesis tasks.
VHDL is used as a specification language and several issues
concerning the use of VHDL for high-level and system-level
synthesis are discussed. These include aspects from the compilation
of VHDL into an internal design representation to the synthesis of
systems specified as interacting VHDL processes. The book
emphasizes the use of a transformational approach to system
synthesis. A Petri net based design representation is rigorously
defined and used throughout the book as a basic vehicle for
illustration of transformations and other design concepts.
Iterative improvement heuristics, such as tabu search, simulated
annealing and genetic algorithms, are discussed and illustrated as
strategies which are used to guide the optimization process in a
transformation-based design environment. Advanced topics, including
hardware/software partitioning, test synthesis and low power
synthesis are discussed from the perspective of a transformational
approach to system synthesis. System Synthesis with VHDL can be
used for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in the area of
design automation and, more specifically, of high-level and
system-level synthesis. At the same time the book is intended for
CAD developers and researchers as well as industrial designers of
digital systems who are interested in new algorithms and techniques
supporting modern design tools and methodologies.
