A tool is described herein for optimizing the design of a hardware-software system. The tool allows a designer to evaluate the potential improvement in system performance that may be realized by moving selected software components of the system to a hardware implementation. In one aspect, the tool automatically generates a performance profile of an original form of the system. The performance profile of the original form of the system may be used to select software components of the system to be moved to hardware. In another aspect, the tool generates an estimated performance profile of a repartitioned form of the system by modifying the performance profile of the system. The estimated performance profile of the repartitioned system is compared to the performance profile of the original form of the system to verify benefits, if any, of repartitioning. Such verification is accomplished without the need to actually repartitioning the system or measuring the performance of the entire repartitioned system.
