Towards predictable software-hardware co-design

In this talk we outline new ideas towards the design of predictable
software-hardware co-design. Predictable computing is required in a variety
of applications, including safety-critical systems and low-power design. For
the case of low-power design, minimizing average power is crucial. We will
show how both software and hardware can be designed in a modular way such
that the average-case cost of computing amounts to a linear combination of
the average-cost of the basic components. As such, for modular
software-hardware co-design based on these principles, the average cost of
computing can be analyzed in a straightforward way, circumventing costly
simulation.
