Abstract

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