Automatic Coarse-grain Partitioning and Automatic Code Generation for Heterogeneous Architectures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Real-time signal, image, and control applications have very important time constraints, involving the use of several powerful numerical calculation units. The aim of our work is to develop a fast and automatic prototyping process dedicated to parallel architectures made of both PC and several last generation Texas Instruments digital signal processors: TMS320C6X DSP. The process is based on SynDEx, a CAD software improving algorithm implementation onto multi-processor architectures by finding the best matching between an algorithm and an architecture. SynDEx kernels for automatic PC and DSP dedicated code generation have been developed with the new SynDEx repetition feature. A full coding application (LAR) illustrates the results.

Compiling for a multithreaded dataflow architecture : algorithms, tools, and experience. (Compilation pour une architecture multi-thread à flot de données : algorithmes, outils et retour d'expérience)
Across the wide range of multiprocessor architectures, all seem to share one common problem: they are hard to program. It is a general belief that parallelism is a software problem, and that perhaps we need more sophisticated compilation techniques to partition the application into concurrent threads. Many experts also make the point that the underlining architecture plays an equally important ...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of a Multi Agent System for Crisis Management by a Model Driven Approach
Considering the increasing occurrences of unexpected events and the need for pre-crisis planning in order to reduce risks and losses, modeling instant response environments is needed more than ever. Modeling may lead to more careful planning for crisis-response operations, such as team formation, task assignment, and doing the task by teams. A common challenge in this way is that the model shou...

Hardware accelerators, such as fpga boards or gpu, are an interesting alternative or a valuable complement to classic multi-core processors for computational-intensive software. However it proves to be both costly and difficult to use legacy applications with these new heterogeneous targets. In particular, existing compilers are generally targeted toward code generation for sequential processor...
متن کاملOptimized RTL Code Generation from Coarse-Grain Dataflow Specification for Fast HW/SW Cosynthesis
This paper presents a new methodology of automatic RTL code generation from coarse-grain dataflow specification for fast HW/SW cosynthesis. A node in a coarse-grain dataflow specification represents a functional block such as FIR and DCT and an arc may deliver multiple data samples per block invocation, which complicates the problem and distinguishes it from behavioral synthesis problem. Given ...
