Abstract
Having taken a look at some important aspects of hardware and software development, it is now possible to embark on a discussion of hardware/software codesign. Attention is given to both past and current research. This chapter starts with an informal view of codesign and presents two related areas: hardware/software trade-offs and hardware/software cross fertilization. Next, a description of a typical codesign process is provided, and several topics are discussed within the context of this design process. Some codesign approaches and design environments are then presented. Following this discussion, a unified design environment is briefly described. This environment will be used to demonstrate many of the ideas developed in the monograph.
