Software Synthesis from the Dataflow Interchange Format
Specification, validation, and synthesis are important aspects of embedded systems design. The use of dataflow-based design environments for these purposes is becoming increasingly popular in the domain of digital signal processing (DSP). The dataflow interchange format (DIF) [11] and the associated DIF package have been developed for specifying, working with, and transferring dataflow-based DSP designs across tools. In this paper, we present the newly developed DIF-to-C software synthesis framework for automatically generating monolithic C-code implementations from DSP system specifications that are programmed in DIF. This framework allows designers to efficiently explore the complex range of implementation trade-offs that are available through various dataflow-based techniques for scheduling and memory management. Furthermore, the DIF-to-C framework provides a standard, vendor-neutral mechanism for linking coarse grain dataflow optimizations with fine grain hand-optimized libraries ...
