ABSTRACT:
A system and method of designing an accelerator for a processor-based system. The accelerator design problem is partitioned into a data communicate module design problem and a data compute core module design problem. The hardware design of the data communicate module is achieved through a predetermined communication template which is customized for the particular application. The communication template has individual configurable communication components and a programmable control flow path. The components of the communicate template include a host bus interface, a memory bus interface, a direct memory access, a local memory and a control module. The combination of the communication components in a single configurable communication template and their optimized interconnections increase the speed of data transfer and data control processes in the accelerator. The hardware design of the data compute core module can be achieved through custom hardware design or by automatically generating hardware from software description.
