Abstract
This paper describes the LYCOS system, an experimental co-synthes
is environment. We present the motivation and philosophy of LYCOS
and after an overview of the entire system, the individual parts
are described. We use a single CPU, single ASIC target
architecture and we describe the techniques we use to estimate
metrics concerning hardware, software and communication in this
architecture. Finally we present a novel partitioning technique
called PACE, which has shown to produce excellent results, and we
demonstrate how partitioning is used to do design space
exploration.
