....between hardware and software. The ASAR project is a collection of tools and languages that assist a designer in a number of tasks, e.g. specifying the behavior of real time systems, generating systolic arrays, describing reactive systems, and generating pipelined signal processing architectures [36]. Bolsens et al. developed a co design tool that allows interactive refinement of an embedded system specification [37] The design may be partitioned among multiple heterogeneous processors. Buck et al. built a general signal processing co design infrastructure [38] Chiodo et al. automated the ....

....with hybrid representation of control and data transfers (the format ASCIS [19] for instance) Thanks to its ability to handle both data and control dependencies, the format GC can join this second category. For example, GC has already been chosen as the common format of the ASAR 3 project [2, 3], the purpose of which is to build a multi formalism framework oriented towards architectural synthesis. In this project, GC will be the common denominator of the different formalisms (including VHDL, the synchronous languages Lustre and Signal, the Alpha language for the design of regular ....

The integration of such a tool in a Framework of Architectural Synthesis Tools: asar[4, 5], 2 VHDL subsets tailored by the designer From the VHDL grammar included in sdev, the user can build his own subset VHDL. This possibility is offered by the tool called TransForm, included in centaur [6] The main characteristics are the ability for the user to delete constructs, or to add new ....
