Abstract :
The paper presents a two level hardware/software partitioning strategy of a co-design framework (CoDe-X) using an Xputer as an accelerator with a reconfigurable datapath. CoDe-X accepts C programs and carries out both profiling-driven host/accelerator partitioning and (2nd level) resource-parameter-driven sequential/structural partitioning of the accelerator source code to optimize the utilization of its reconfigurable datapath resources
