VOICU GROZA - HARDWARE/SOFTWARE CODESIGN OF EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
Goals:
• To introduce issues and methods for the
specification and design of embedded
computing systems
• To present techniques for codesign

Embedded Systems Infomercial 
• Sales of microprocessors rose 3% in 2007 as chip
companies sold $270 billion worth of chips worldwide
(Gartner).

–
Intel had 12.2% market share, followed by
Samsung with 7.7%,
Toshiba with 4.6% and
Texas Instruments with 4.2%.
• $-wise, the embedded and desktop markets are about
the same, since embedded computers cost only a few to
tens of dollars - you can't put a $200 processor inside a
pager
• Designers of embedded systems will likely be in high
demand …

Who knows how to build embedded systems?
• Such systems used to be the domain of hardware designers.
• Today, embedded system designer must be experienced in
both software and hardware design, as well as in embedded
applications.
• In addition, because an embedded system usually executes
just one program during its lifetime (unlike desktop
computers that execute thousands of programs), the
designer must be familiar with optimization techniques to
perform the specific program using the least size, power,
and time.

Marking Scheme
• Assignments (1 or 2) (15 %)
– One or two assignments, dealing with co-design methodologies and/or tools will be
given out to familiarize the student with system modeling
• First project task (15 %)
– This task involves a literature review of an agreed upon topic, preferably in line
with the student’s research
– A paper presentation is given to the class discussing one of the literatures surveyed
in the first project task. This will be scheduled for sometime in the middle of the
semester.
• Second project task (35 %)
– This task complements the first one, through the design, simulation and/or
implementation of the chosen topic. The student is free to utilize any available tools
and languages to carry out the research.
– A presentation outlining the project’s details and results is given to the class. Each
student is required to choose at least one of the presentations (paper or project)
• Final examination (35%)
