| Abstract: |
In this paper, the problem of automatically mapping large-grain dataflow programs onto heterogeneous hardware/software architectures is treated. Starting with a given hardware/software
partition, interfaces are automatically inserted into the specification to account for communication, in particular across hardware/software boundaries. Depending on the target architecture, the
interfaces are refined according to given communication constraints (bus protocols, memory mapping, interrupts, DMA, etc.). An object-oriented approach is presented that enables an easy migration
(retargeting) of typical communication primitives to other target architectures. |
