Abstract

Embedded systems have a wide range as they have become essential parts of modern life. A typical embedded system consists of application-specific hardware and programmable software. Hardware-software (HW/SW) partitioning problem defines which tasks should be mapped to software and hardware. It allows the proposition of an optimised system with predefined constraints. In this paper, a heuristic algorithm, the hybrid-bee-colony-optimisation for multiple-choice HW/SW partitioning is proposed. The proposed algorithm aims to minimise power consumption and execution time, while meeting area constraint. This heuristic algorithm is developed to generate an approximate solution in acceptable delay. The Virtex 5 is chosen as a target platform. Simulation results are compared with existing works and they show rapidity with the generation of an optimal solution near to the exact one.
