Designing parameterized signal processing ips for high level synthesis in a model based design environment

Model based hardware/software synthesis can lead to fast and efficient embedded system implementations, by enabling quick design space exploration. High level hardware modeling and implementation can be accelerated by using functionally verified parameterized models that are optimized for high level hardware synthesis. Such models can be designed so that they can be easily integrated with a high level modeling environment, such as Simulink, and at the same time provide ample flexibility to perform design space exploration when mapped to hardware.
