Hardware/software co-design for DSP applications via the HMS framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of computer systems that incorporate both standardized oo-the-shelf processors, or software, as well as specialized hardware is referred to as hard-ware/software (hw/sw) co-design. This paper studies the problem and presents a system, the Hardware/Multi-Software Co-design (HMS) system, of obtaining the best hw/sw connguration for DSP applications. New algorithms for performing partitioning, scheduling, loop pipelining (retiming), hardware needability analysis, etc., are presented. The nal connguration satisses both area and time constraints while using as many standardized processors as possible along with a minimum amount of extra hardware.

Hardware/Software co-design with the HMS framework
Hardware/Software co-design is an increasingly common design style for integrated circuits. It allows the majority of a system to designed quickly with standardized parts, while special purpose hardware is used for the time critical portions of the system. The framework considered in this paper performs Hardware/Multi-Software (HMS) co-design for iterative loops, given an input speciication tha...

متن کاملA retargetable tool-suite for the design of application specific instruction set processors using a machine description language
This paper presents BURAQ, a DSP development framework, which aims at optimizing cost, efficiency and turn around time of System-On-Chip development. BURAQ accepts an Instruction and Architecture description (IAD) file that represents the DSP and its instruction set at a higher level of abstraction, in a proprietary language. The system then synthesizes a complete hardware description of the pr...
