APPLICATION OF DESIGN PATTERNS FOR HARDWARE DESIGN Speaker: Prof. Vytautas ?TUIKYS, Software Engineering Department, Kaunas University of Technology, Kaunas, Lithuania E-mail: vystu@if.ktu.lt Phone: 370-37-300399 Content Design Domain Analysis: System-level Design Processes in HW Design Design Domain Analysis: Design Patterns in SW/HW Design Domains Implementation of System-level Design Processes Design Patterns Metaprogramming and Design Pattern-based Design Framework Experiments Analysis, Evaluation and Problems Conclusions Design Domain Analysis: Aims To specify and understand the generally approved trends in design domain (SW/HW) To identify and characterize the well-understood sub-domains in HW design domain To understand how approved solutions in SW domain can be applied for HW design To gain guidelines for achieving higher reusability, adaptability productivity (including the ones for building domain generators) Design Domain Analysis: Findings Trends: Shift towards Integration-based Design (reuse, IP) Blurring boundaries between HW SW design Well-understood sub-domains (models): Interface-based design using well-defined communication models (Handshake, FIFO, etc.) Fault-tolerant design using well-defined redundancy models (TRM, etc.) Essential features of the designs: Solutions for common problems (System-level Design Processes and Design Patterns) Explicitly separated variant and invariant parts Hardware Design Processes Register Transfer-level design processes System-level design processes Layers of System-level Design Processes Specification processes deal with the analysis and specification of design problems separation of concerns, composition, generalization. Implementation processes are concerned with the aspects of implementation of design solutions that deal with design problems customization (e.g.,wrapping). Design Pattern: Definitions The design pattern is ... … “descriptions of communicating objects and classes that
