Could you please give some references to these systems.

I fully agree.
We have just embarked on a project which aims at integrating a VLSI design
environment with compiler generation tools. This will enable us to rapidly
generate and test complete system (including applications) either
simulated or real hardware, thus enabling us to efficiently evaluate
different design tradeoffs between hardware and software.
