Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a hardware/software cosynthesis system for processor cores of digital signal processing and a hardware/software partitioning algorithm which is one of the key issues for the system.The target processor has a VLIW-type core which can be composed of a processor kernel, multiple data memory buses(X-bus and Y-bus), hardware loops, addressing units, and multiple functional units.The processor kernel includes five pipeline stages(RISC-type kernel)or three pipeline stages(DSP-type kernel).The system synthesizes a processor core by selecting the required hardware units among them based on a given application program and data and the hardware costs.As a result, the synthesized processor core can range from RISC to DSP.The experimental results show the effectiveness of our system and hardware/software partitioning algorithm.
