Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a hardware/software(HW/SW) partitioning framework for HW/SW cosynthesis system named SPADES. SPADES is a system to synthesis processor core specialized in application automatically. Synthesized processor core would be just enough in area and performance. A HW/SW partitoner, a core part in SPADES, first decides hardware constructions which enables to process application with all speed. And then reduces hardware units (functional units, registers, and so on) to explore optimum hardware constructions. Proposal framework enables to explore optimum hardware constructions and to synthesis much smaller SIMD processor core specialized in application. In addition, because of proposal framework is divided as modules, it enables to change or extend the system without difficulty. The experimental results show effectiveness of the proposed framework.
