The present top-down multi-objective design methodology leverages multi- objective optimization/synthesis technology to enable a powerful way to hand le complex designs, and to maximize IP reuse. This methodology is top-down in that the system is described in a hierarchical manner of larger subsystems containing progressively smaller subsystems. It leverages multi-objective technology by automatically determining tradeoffs for each node at each leve l of the hierarchy and using these tradeoffs to determine the design space of the node's parent node. The present invention is suitable for any combinatio n of optimization, synthesis, or manual design at every level.
