Abstract
The complexity of embedded system design increase as the technology keeps evolving from day to day. Hardware software partitioning has been a promising approach to solve this design problem of complexity in the embedded systems, by providing a solution that automatically decides the partitioning. A lot of research has been done to automate the partitioning which focusing on exact and heuristic algorithm. Then due to the slow performance of the exact algorithms, the study focus shift to heuristic algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). In this research the performance of both PSO algorithm and GA are analyzed in the application of the partitioning. In order to get the best among these two algorithms, hybrid combination across the two algorithms is designed. The best cost and their average time to achieve it are compared among PSO, GA and hybrid design. As a result, the graph obtained from the hybrid GA-GA-PSO required a smaller number of iterations to reach best cost. Compared to previous work, GA-GA-PSO obtained a smooth as the successive PSO graph. In conclusion, a new idea of hybrid across PSO and GA has been introduced and it results into a better solution for Hardware Software Partitioning.
