Implementing Real-Time Algorithms by using the AAA Prototyping Methodology

This paper presents a system-level methodology (AAA) for signal and image processing algorithms onto circuit architecture. This AAA (Algorithm Architecture Adequation) methodology is added and implemented in an existing software dedicated to the fast prototyping and optimization of real-time embedded algorithms onto multicomponent architectures. The resulting tool, called SynDExIC, is a free graphical Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. It supports different features: algorithm and architecture specifications, data path and control path synthesis, performances prediction, optimizations and RTL generation.
