   SESSION 15
  Issues in Partitioning and Design Space Exploration for Codesign
  Chair: Nikil Dutt - Univ. of California, Irvine, CA
  Organizers: Donatella Sciuto, Jan Madsen

  The first paper presents a system level approach to simplify task scheduling by grouping tasks which should be executed on the same resource. The second paper presents run-time partitioning where software is monitored and possible dynamically translated into hardware, based on monitoring and synthesis algorithms placed in hardware. Third paper performs instruction set extension based on capabilities provided by the processor architecture. The fourth paper presents generation of abstract instruction encodings needed for software tool generation during architecture exploration.
