A grouping partitioning technique with automatic criterion selection for the codesign process

Partitioning is a key issue within the codesign process. As it usually consumes much time, it is important to make it as efficient as possible to avoid costly feedbacks. In this way, this paper describes a partitioning process based on a grouping technique intended to avoid high time overheads due to communications, as well as being able to work with a reliable estimation model.
