Abstract
In this paper we present a structured hardware/ software codesign approach to modeling and development of embedded systems for many-core platforms. Our method is based on the combination of three technologies that are not commonly used in such a context: a.) programmable hardware, b.) high-level computing model and programming language, and c.) hybrid hardware/ software compilation. Resulting benefits are better reliability and performance, as well as higher productivity, portability and scalability thanks to a fully integrated design flow. We shall also show that our method is promising in terms of resource-efficiency and in particular energy-efficiency. An application from the medical ICT area will serve as a proof of concept.
