Abstract

This paper describes a software environment that allows the programming and configuration of a heterogeneous multiprocessor architecture consisting of specialized hardware and a general purpose trasputer net. Run-time-behavior estimation is done at a compile time by using directed dataflow graphs to represent the program and a database containing all the relevant information about functions. The system offers the implementations of functions running on different hardware platforms, static configuration and scheduling, and integrated performance measurement. We show how programmers can handle such a system without any deeper knowledge of the underlying specialized hardware.
