In other words, it is common to Hardware/software partitioning is a crucial use both application-specific hardware accelerator problem in embedded system design. In this paper, w e circuits and general-purpose programmable units with provide an alternative approach to solve this probl em appropriate software for embedded system design. using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. Usually application specific hardware is much faster Performance analysis of the proposed scheme with than software and also more power efficient, but Integer Linear Programming, Genetic Algorithm and
