Method for generating hardware information

摘要

A method is provided that generates hardware information for executing a first program including a first algorithm that repeats a first process, the hardware information being suited to implementing a "for" loop written in C language in a device in which a plurality of PE are connected and a circuit can be dynamically reconfigured, the method comprising generation of: (a) first configuration information for generating output data produced by executing the first process on input data; (b) second configuration information for executing a process that loads the input data from a first memory using a first address counter; (c) third configuration information for executing a process that stores the output data in a second memory using a second address counter; (d) fourth configuration information for executing a process that loads the input data from an external memory into the first memory using a third address counter; and (e) fifth configuration information for executing a process that stores the output data in an external memory from the second memory using a fourth address counter.
