RASSP Methodology

• Develop a Methodology that supports Hardware/Software Codesign approach to signal processor development and is scalable for general electronic design use
• Define a repeatable process that supports the RASSP 4X goals and enables reuse on multiple programs

• Supports Model Year upgrade and Reuse concepts
• Software and hardware codesign and optimization throughout process
• Tool integrations reduce design re-entry
• Virtual prototyping reduces I&T and achieves first-pass success
• Autocoding reduces software development time
  

• Methodology: V2 4Q95 (final 4Q97)
• Volume 1 Description
• Volume 2 Workflows and
• Activity Definitions

. RELATED EFFORTS

• Model-year architecture concept defined and documented
• Methodology codified in workflows/IDEF 3X and controlled thru execution on the Enterprise system
• Performance modeling and virtual prototyping
