Chapter 5 Hardware Cost Optimization

DOI: 10.1201/9781003391517-5

Industrial embedded system is usually cost-sensitive, and reducing system hardware costs can lead to higher profits. The functional safety requirements must be satisfied according to functional safety standards. In this chapter, we propose two hardware cost optimization approaches. The first approach presents the progressive hardware cost optimization (PHCO), enhanced PHCO (EPHCO), and simplified EPHCO (SEPHCO) algorithms step by step for a parallel application while satisfying the functional safety requirements. The second approach presents the cost-effectiveness-driven hardware cost optimization algorithm (CEHCO) for a parallel application while meeting the functional safety ...
