Abstract :
In this paper, a synthesis method of dedicated architectures is introduced. Its aim is to produce optimized systems derived from the algorithmic expression of a numerical application. The approach addresses the design of dedicated systems for applications that require high numerical computations. An efficient utilization of hardware resources is achieved through the use of vector processing with an SIMD implementation. The synthesis algorithm realizes simultaneously the design of SIMD structures and the generation of the microcode needed for implementing a software pipelining of operation of the input program
