Method of HW/SW partitioning based on NSGA-II

HW/SW partitioning is a key issue in HW/SW co-design of embedded system. In this paper, NSGA-II was applied to HW/SW partitioning. Each run of the algorithm can produce many Pareto-optional solutions. The satisfactory solution can provide an effective tool for measuring the performance of different objective functions, and impove the designing efficiency. The results show that the method can get global optional solutions to fulfill system performance constraint for embedded system.
