Abstract
An example method of implementing a system design for a programmable system-on-chip (SOC) having a processing system and programmable logic includes receiving a description of performance objectives for the system design. The method further includes accessing a characterization database that relates parameter settings of the processing system to performance under different traffic profiles as generated by an emulation system comprising the processing system and one or more circuit blocks implemented in the programmable logic. The method further includes obtaining a parameter set from the characterization database based on the description of the performance objectives. The method further includes generating a parameter image for setting registers of the processing system based on the parameter set.
