System Design: High Leverage Paradigms
Orthogonalization of concerns: view designs along axes that can be dealt with independently
- Timing and functionality
- Function and Architecture
- Computation and Communication
“...70-80% of the performance, power and often cost of an ASIC can be determined during the algorithmic and architecture phases in the design flow”
“System Design into Silicon” by J. Johansson, Ericsson
