Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper presents a distributed memory architecture for dedicated
hardware automatically synthesized from Erlang programs. Takebayashi
et al. had developed a framework for generating embedded systems controllers whose behavior was specified by a subset of Erlang, where each process was mapped onto a hardware module running independently of those for the other processes. However, the resulting hardware was not of practical use because it shared a single main memory potentially accessed by all the process modules simultaneously. To address this issue, in this paper, the main memory is partitioned into banks so that each process can access its own memory independently of the other processes. In order to keep the interconnections for message passing and garbage collection to a practical size, a bus architecture is employed where requests for send and garbage collection are arbitrated by an arbiter module. From a simple Erlang specification consisting of 2 processes, a synthesizable Verilog HDL code has been generated whose behavior was confirmed by RTL simulation.
