System Level Design

The book "System Level Design" by Muhammad Rashid provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities in the field of System Level Design (SLD) for embedded systems. Given the increasing complexity of architectures and applications, as well as the constantly decreasing time to market, the work highlights the gap between system complexity and design productivity. It demonstrates how SLD can help bridge this gap by presenting innovative approaches for analyzing complex applications at higher levels of abstraction and for rapid performance estimation. The book also addresses the challenges of performance analysis for parallel executions on heterogeneous architectures without the need for hardware-software co-simulation. Through a holistic view of SLD, it aims for optimal and rapid design of embedded systems.
