This co-design has been made possible with the development of high-performance processor core, embedded memory circuits, faster communication technologies between hardware & software.
A two-phased algorithm (Phased Greedy Metaheuristic Algorithm or PGMA) has been proposed which also takes into consideration the communication costs between hardware and software Processing-Engines (PEs) while partitioning.
This approach addresses the modeling of communication between the hardware and software modules at different abstraction levels and for different design tools.
As current AP designs rely on existing commercial devices, it is important for such designs to be robust against difficulties that arise due to the communication between different hardware components, as well as to include failure modes in case of problems such as signal interruptions due to transmission or intrinsic sensor loss.
(The kernel is the core of an operating system and manages the communication between the computer's hardware and software).
In Mr. Cui's presentation — titled "Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean your phone isn't listening to everything you say" — he demonstrated how to exploit a loophole in the phone's kernel, the core of its operating system that manages communication between a device's hardware and software.
A prototype software application was developed in Visual C# 2010 to be the central hub for communication between the software and hardware components.
Zhu et al. analyze in [32] some attacks toward SCADA systems by making a distinction between hardware, software, and communication stack threats.
The communication between the RTDS and the external hardware components is done via an analogue I/O interface.
In such a setting, it rapidly becomes undesirable to mandate a significant amount of communication between the physical qubit layer and hardware at the highest levels of system abstraction.
