Spiral-like model<br />
• Designer develops or acquires architecture<br />
• Develops application(s)<br />
• Maps application to architecture<br />
• Analyzes design metrics<br />
• Now makes choice<br />
– Modify mapping<br />
– Modify application(s) to better suit architecture<br />
– Modify architecture to better suit application(s)<br />
• Not as difficult now<br />
– Maturation of synthesis/compilers<br />
– IPs can be tuned<br />
• Continue refining to lower abstraction level until<br />
particular implementation chosen<br />
