| Recently, as system design is becoming more and more challenging due to decreasing time-to-market and increasing system complexities, System-level design demands corresponding approaches that efficiently explore the complete system design space and rapidly evaluate a large number of design alternatives in a short amount of time.; This work proposes fast estimation and efficient exploration approaches for system synthesis design flow. It starts with the system behavior which represents the design functionality, generates the system architecture from the system behavior, and finally maps the system behavior to the system architecture.; In this work, we target at complex system design: the system behavior is modeled concurrently and hierarchically, the system architecture is assembled by processing elements with different attributes and incompatible communication levels and have relatively low time complexities, we meet the requirement for fast estimation and exploration of the system level design. |
