• Motivation
• Complexity, V-deep submicron, low power, high
  performance successful completion of ASICs
  constitute current hardware designs challenges.
• Ptolemy concurrency, heterogeneity, hierarchy,
  portability, distributed modeling,
  component-based framework, code generation,
  openness and others support hardware design
  solutions
• Productivity Gap Growth
• Ptolemy A HW design Perspective
• Design Lab.
• Ptolemy II is first and foremost a laboratory for
  experimenting with design techniques
• Openness
• Embedded software platforms development
• Choice of models of computation
• Heterogeneous HW
• Component Based Design
