Computer aided hardware/software partitioning is one of the key challenges in hardware/software co-design. This paper describes a new approach to hardware/software partitioning for synchronous communication model. We transform the partitioning into a reachability problem in timed automata. By means of an optimal reachability algorithm, an optimal result can be obtained in terms of limited resources in hardware. To increase the opportunity of partitioning optimization, two algorithms are designed to explore the dependency relation among processes in the initial specification. Moreover, we propose a scheduling algorithm to improve the synchronous communication efficiency further after partitioning stage. Some experiments are conducted with model checker UPPAAL to show our approach is both effective and efficient.
