Fast prototyping: a case study the JPEG compression algorithm

A platform and methodology for real time systems on chip prototyping is presented. The JPEG case study is presented as an example of prototyping. The proposed methodology overcomes limitations of the simulation approach and can often achieve real time validation. However, the case study highlights drawbacks of the prototyping platform and points out some remaining work to make prototyping more effective.
