In order to make the hardware and software co-design process more distributive,autonomous and parallel,this paper presents a novel methodology of applying Multi-Agent technology into co-design process and the Multi-Agent System(MAS) model.The model includes system description Agent,hardware and software partition and mapping Agent,hardware and software design Agent,communication Agent,performance analysis Agent and the hardware validation Agent.The MAS model describes how to construct and apply these Agents and how to use Multi-Agent mapping and cooperating algorithm to coordinate the co-design process.Application results show that this methodology works better than traditional process in system level chip design,and it can optimize the software and hardware architecture and improve the whole system performance.
