Global optimization and verification of cyber-physical systems using floating point math functionality on a system with heterogeneous hardware components

A non-transitory computer accessible memory medium that stores program instructions executable by a processor to implement:

• storing a program, wherein the program comprises floating point implementations of:
• a control program, a model of a physical system, an objective function, a requirements verification program, and a global optimizer;
• executing a simulation of the program on a computer using co-simulation with a trusted model, wherein the simulation simulates a heterogeneous hardware system (HHS) implementation of the program, including simulating behavior and timing of distributed execution of the program on the HHS, wherein said executing includes verifying the HHS implementation of the program using the requirements verification program;
• and
• deploying the program on the HHS, wherein said deploying configures the HHS to globally improve the control program and the model of the physical system executing concurrently on the HHS via the global optimizer;
• wherein the improved model of the physical system is usable to construct the physical system, and wherein the improved control program is executable on the HHS to control the physical system.
