Analysis Techniques for Real-Time DSP Systems

Introduction

DSP-based real-time systems have become more and more complex, causing designers to look at trade-offs between hardware and software when they define and analyze initial requirements. Today, engineers find themselves trading off system flexibility, speed, cost, schedules, and available tools. Plus, with newly available devices, functionality and requirements can be implemented in hardware, software, or a mixture of both.

Many system designers will execute a life cycle of hardware/software co-design, when both the hardware and the software are being developed simultaneously. In these environments, it is essential that hardware and software designers interact in the requirements definition ...
