| Abstract(in English) | This paper proposes a method to generate parallel C code from models developed on the Simulink which is a model-based development tool. Although a number of new frameworks are researched for developing parallel software based on data flows and pipeline processing to exploit their inherent data parallelism or task parallelism, such new frameworks have difficulty in the transition from existing languages. To avoid that transition, we focus on the Simulink, which has been popular in the field of control systems as a model development tool on a model-based development method. If it would be possible to generate parallel C code from existing models developed on the Simulink, there should be no need to switch languages for parallelization from the Simulink. The proposed method in this paper generates parallel C code from the Simulink in a way of applying the theory of communicating sequential processes (CSP). Under the generation process, to determine the execution order of blocks in models, the proposed method eliminates loop structures in models. While data items are transferred through communication on the CSP, they are stored and shared in double buffers on the proposed method. On the experiment of applying the method for an audio processing model, the execution time of the parallelized code could be reduced successfully to 26.3% on the NaviEngine CPU running at 400MHz with eSOL eT-Kernel SMP, compared with that of the sequential code. |
