Question

Which of the following is approximated during hardware/software partitioning, during task-level concurrency management?

(a) scheduling

(b) compilation

(c) task-level concurrency management

(d) high-level transformation

I had been asked this question in unit test.

This question is from Introduction to Software and Hardware Implementation topic in portion Implementing Embedded System: Hardware/Software Codesign of Embedded Systems

Answer 1

Right option is (a) scheduling

To explain I would say: The scheduling is performed in several contexts. It should be approximated with the other design activities like the compilation, hardware/software partitioning, and task-level concurrency management. The scheduling should be precise for the final code.
