| Abstract | The SMU Co-Design Project is an effort to target the problem of hardware/software co-design via an open source laboratory for studying hardware-software integration. The project focuses on the use of Model Driven Architectures (MDA) to define high-level modelbased system descriptions that can be implemented in either hardware or software. Utilizing component and state diagrams based on the Unified Modeling Language (UML), we demonstrate MODCO, a transformation tool which takes a UML state diagram as input and generates HDL output suitable for use in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) circuit design. With this tool as a first step, we plan to continue to bridge the gap between hardware and software design taking advantage of trends in both areas to work with higher level description languages and use software transformation tools to manage lower-level hardware or software implementation details. This project also serves as the basis for a new generation of software and computer engineers who understand each other’s problems and issues and are able to leverage the capabilities of modelbased system description languages. |
