Efficient Modeling of Embedded Systems Using Computer-Aided Recoding

摘要

The design of embedded computing systems faces a serious productivity gap due to the increasing complexity of their hardware and software components. One solution to address this problem is the modeling at higher levels of abstraction. However, writing proper executable system models is challenging, error-prone, and very time-consuming.rnThis tutorial outlines a novel modeling technique called computer-aided recoding which automates the process of specifying and modeling embedded systems by use of advanced computer-aided design (CAD) techniques. Using a designer-controlled approach with automated source code transformations, computer-aided recoding can derive an executable parallel system model directly from available sequential reference code. As a result, system modeling is streamlined, enabling a shorter design time and higher productivity.
