Abstract

The design of an energy efficient digital signal processing system benefits from trade-offs of system complexity and performance during the algorithmic design and architectural design. CAST methods are useful during these early phases of design exploration. The traditional CAD tools are used in the final implementation phases. CASCADE is a design environment consisting of method banks of CAST and CAD tools. The system modeling and simulation method called OPERAS is described in context with the CASCADE.
