Abstract
The rapidly growing demand for the design of specialized computing systems, primarily embedded systems and systems-on-chip, constrained by the limited capabilities of developers, due to the high complexity of the task. A Design Mechanism is proposed as an abstraction (a conceptual construct) that explicitly separates architectural logic from the implementation level according to a comprehensive criterion. Its use is most effective in the design of subsystems characterized by high internal variability and numerous technological alternatives. Such an abstraction, applied at all stages of the design process, enables more efficient formation and analysis of the design solution space, radically reducing conceptual errors and expanding the number of design outcomes available for reuse.
