Representation of a

Slide 12 of 93

Notes:

Alternatively, the various forms of system representation could may be described using the taxonomy developed under the RASSP project. This taxonomy uses five axes which represent:

Time

Data value

Function

Structure

Programmability

Note that both internal and external behavior is represented.

For example, time can be represented from low to high resolution. At the high level, we represent gates and at the low level purely functions (i.e. no timing).
