An embedded computer is part of a larger system that supports overall functioning of the system. Embedded applications range from sophisticated aircraft flight control to consumer products. The incorporation of hardware/software co-synthesis process in the design of embedded systems is crucial for producing optimal embedded devices. We investigate co-synthesis approaches to design MPSoCs (Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip) and multi-core embedded systems. MPSoC performance is determined by the ability of on-chip communication network that can fulfill the communication needs of processors and other cores. It is claimed that NoC (Network-on-Chip) based systems are economically feasible for several product variants. We investigate various approaches to the design and analysis of NoC systems. We propose to develop methods to design optimal NoC systems by considering chip layout, power, wire-lenths and other information.

嵌入式计算机是支持系统整体功能的更大系统的一部分。嵌入式应用范围从复杂的飞机飞行控制到消费产品。在嵌入式系统的设计中，结合硬件/软件协同综合过程是生产最佳嵌入式设备的关键。本文研究了多处理器片上系统和多核嵌入式系统的协同综合设计方法。MPSoC的性能取决于片上通信网络能否满足处理器与其他核之间的通信需求。据称，基于NoC（片上网络）的系统对于几种产品变体在经济上是可行的。我们调查各种方法的设计和分析的NoC系统。我们建议开发的方法来设计最佳的NoC系统，考虑芯片布局，功率，线长和其他信息。
