Abstract: A method of generating an embedded system (4999) from an original computer program (996) which embedded system (4999) provides a parallellized hardware (4598) and software (4599) implementation of the original computer program (996), which parallellized implementation (4598, 4599) satisfies one or more criteria regarding hardware constraints of the embedded system (4999). The system provides partitioning of functionality from the original computer program (996) using structural and behavioral program models and detects streaming and memory dependencies to improve the partitioning, relying on added indications of source lines and variables in said original computer program to relate partitions and dependencies in the program model with locations in the original program source code.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of automatically generating an embedded system on the basis of an original computer program, comprising analyzing the original computer program, comprising a step of compiling the original computer program into an executable to obtain data flow graphs with static data dependencies and a step of executing the executable using test data to provide dynamic data dependencies as communication patterns between load and store operations of the original computer program, and a step of transforming the original computer program into an intermediary computer program that exhibits multi-threaded parallelism with inter-thread communication, which comprises identifying at least one static and/or dynamic data dependency that crosses a thread boundary and converting said data dependency into a buffered communication channel with read/write access.
