Embedded Systems & Co-design Group
As the world of engineering advances, the complexity demands of both hardware and software grow at a phenomenal rate. The trade-offs between hardware and software within a system are at the forefront of this complexity and demand attention unto themselves. Hardware software codesign is the study of how to make these tradeoffs and meet system constraints.

University of California, Berkeley, Ptolemy Project
The Ptolemy project studies modeling, simulation, and design of concurrent, real-time, embedded systems. The focus is on assembly of concurrent components. The key underlying principle in the project is the use of well-defined models of computation that govern the interaction between components.

Efficient Security for Mobile Communication Utilizing Elliptic Curves: Hardware/Software Co-Design
In recent years, more and more security-sensitive activities like shopping or banking transactions are carried out over the Internet, an inherently insecure medium. In addition, many of these activities are performed using small, mobile devices, severely limited in terms of available energy, memory, and computational power.This work describes the development of a generic cryptographic library in ANSI C that allows to use the memory saving...

A Decade of Hardware/ Software Codesign
The term hardware/software codesign surfaced in the early 1990s to describe a confluence of problems in integrated circuit (IC) design. Microprocessors had been in use for over a decade at that point, but microprocessor-based systems were almost exclusively board-level systems. A class of designers who were largely separate from IC designers integrated microprocessors with standard hardware components on a board. Much

Interface based Hardware/Software Validation of a System-on-Chip
In this paper, we focus on developing an efficient interface-based validation methodology for core-based SoC designs. In SoCs designed with pre-validated IP cores, the verification complexity can be significantly alleviated by concentrating on the integration of the cores in the system, rather than the complete SoC.
