Abstract

A novel hardware/software co-design framework (CoDe-X) is presented in this paper, where an Xputer iis used as universal accelerator based on a reconfigurable datapath hardware. CoDe-X accepts C-programs and car-ries out both, the profiling-driven host/accelerator partitioning for performance optimization, and (second lever!) the resource-driven sequential /structural partitioning of the accelerator source code to optimize the utilization of its reconfigurable datapath resources.
