本文介绍了CoWare：一个用于片上系统设计的环境。这些系统在规范和实现方面都是不同的。CoWare基于通信进程数据模型，该模型支持封装和精化，并将功能和通信行为严格分离。封装允许重用现有的规范和设计环境(语言、模拟器、编译器)。改进提供了从规范到实现的一致和集成的路径。设计步骤包括：系统规范、不同抽象层次的仿真、数据路径综合、通信精化和硬件/软件协同设计。一个基于扩频的寻呼机系统用于说明在CoWare环境下的设计过程。
This paper addresses CoWare: an environment for design of heterogeneous systems on chip. These systems are heterogeneous both in terms of specification and implementation. CoWare is based on a communicating processes data-model which supports encapsulation and refinement and makes a strict separation between functional and communication behaviour. Encapsulation enables the reuse of existing specification and design environments (languages, simulators, compilers). Refinement provides for a consistent and integrated path from specification to implementation. The design steps that will be addressed include: system specification, simulation at various abstraction levels, data path synthesis, communication refinement and hardware/software co-design. A spread-spectrum based pager system serves to illuminate the design process in the CoWare environment.
