Abstract(in English) Reconfigurable processors are processors whose contexts are dynamically reconfigured while they are working. We focus on a reconfigurable processor called FE-GA (Flexible Engine/Generic ALU array) for digital media processing. Presently, FE-GA do not have its dedicated development tool. Thus, in this paper, we design FIR filters and propose an algorithm to map them onto it automatically. For given a degree and coefficients of an FIR filter, the algorithm generates a dedicated assembly code which represents a given FIR filter for FE-GA. Then an editor called FEEditor reads the generated assembly code and implements its corresponding FIR filter on FE-GA. The proposed algorithm achieves automatic mapping of FIR filters of all degrees within the range of the specification of FE-GA architecture. Furthermore, it is proved that a minimum cycle to execute FIR filtering is achieved if there is no thread switch.
