INTRODUCTION
The design of embedded systems, that is, circuits designed for specific applications, is based on a series of decisions as well as on the use of several types of development techniques. For example:
- Selection of the data representation
- Generation or selection of algorithms
- Selection of hardware platforms
- Hardware–software partitioning
- Program generation
- New hardware synthesis
- Cosimulation, coemulation, and prototyping
Some of these activities have a close relationship with the study of arithmetic algorithms and circuits, especially in the case of systems including a great amount of data processing (e.g., ciphering and deciphering, image processing, digital signature, biometry).
