Abstract(in English) Processor cores which process image and sound data can achieve higher speed, smaller area and lower power than general-purpose processor by adding operation units specialized in application. We call these operation units "processing units". Because it takes a long time to design processing units depending on applications, a system to synthesis processing units automatically is required. This paper proposes an algorithm to optimize porcessing units for SIMD-type processor core. Our propsal synthesizes processing units automatically by clustering arithmatic and logic operation nodes from application control data flow graph(CDFG). Synthesized processing units are embedded to the prcessor core. And then we tried to explorer optimum hardware architecture by reconstructing processing units simultaneously witn processor cores. The experimental results show effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
