Objektorientierter hArdware/Software Entwurf (Object oriented design of hardware/software systems)[1]

Recent years have brought a considerable increase in the complexity of integrated circuits which can only be handled by descriptions on higher and higher levels of abstraction. The complexity is transferred from modeling to synthesis and simulation. Thus, rapid simulation and, above all, reuse concepts become of decisive importance and should be supported by an appropriate description language. This language should be at least object oriented.
Because of the transition towards higher levels of abstraction, the descriptions for software and hardware become closer and closer. Therefore it is reasonable to search for a single language for the description of all parts of hardware/software systems.
In this project we use Java as a hardware description language and put the focus on two major areas:
  • The modelling, specification and simulation of mixed hardware/software systems using objectoriented techniques and JavaBeans.
  • The partitioning and synthesis of those hardware/software systems based on a specification with JavaBeans.
On the following pages we want to describe some keypoints of hardware/software synthesis with highlevel languages that are important for oure model in more detail.
