Abstract :
This work presents methodology for synchronizing distributed FSMs (Finite State Machines) which are generated while implementing different algorithms on a coarse grain reconfigurable architecture. These FSMs interact with each other while executing algorithms and they are dependent upon each other; thus they need to be synchronized with each other for performing correct execution. The algorithms presented in this paper makes appropriate use of different strategies available for synchronizing these FSMs. The tool hides all sorts of low level details from the Programmer. It lets the designer focus on the details of algorithm (at higher level of abstraction) and cycle by cycle timings are resolved automatically.
