Automatic Code Generation for MPSoC Platform Starting From Simulink/Matlab : New Approach to Bridge the Gap between Algorithm and Architecture Design

This paper deals with the system level design flow and methodology for rapid prototyping of multiprocessor systems on chip (MPSoC) starting from Matlab/Simulink specification. The rise of the abstraction level when designing the hardware (HW) and software (SW) parts of MPSoC permits to master the growing complexity of these systems. However, it generates a huge gap between the concepts of system level specification and those used for implementation and synthesis of HW/SW MPSoC. In this paper, we propose a new approach to establish a bridge between the system level specification in Matlab/Simulink and the HW/SW architecture at the implementation level.
