ZIAD T. Methods and means for automation of hardware accelerators configuring

Thesis is dedicated to development of the hardware accelerators automation configuring methods and means, their implementation and estimation of their application efficiency. The principles of the structure organization and operation of the hardware accelerators automation configuring means are developed. An implementation for the hardware accelerators automatic configuring method is proposed, a structure and principles of operation of the corresponding means are developed. Requirements for the components of the hardware accelerators automatic configuring means are formed. An investigation and development of means for computational load distribution between the computer and accelerator are performed. A method of computational load distribution, principles of operation and structure of the system are developed, its software implementation is done. Operational and application features of the existing types of the specialized processors IP-cores generators are analyzed, and investigation of their compatibility with the formed requirements to the specialized processors IP-cores automatic generation system is done. The structure of the generation system and method of its employment are developed, its software implementation is done. As an experimental research, an automatic distribution of the test program is performed. Based on analysis of the research outcomes, achieved acceleration of this program execution is determined.
