Abstract: Smart systems are becoming more present in every aspect of our daily lives. The main component of such systems is an embedded system; this latter assures the collection, the treatment, and the transmission of the accurate information in the right time and for the right component. Modern embedded systems are facing several challenges; the objective is to design a system with high performance and to decrease the cost and the development time. Consequently, some robust methodologies like the Codesign were developed to fulfill those requirements. The most important step of the Codesign is the partitioning of the systems' functionalities between a hardware set and a software set. This article deals with this problem and uses a heuristic approach based on shortest path optimizations to solve the problem. The aim is to minimize the total hardware area and to respect a constraint on the overall execution time of the system. Experiments results demonstrate that the proposed method is very fast and gives better results compared to the genetic algorithm.
