POLYMORPHIC COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

Configuration software is used for generating hardware-level code and data that may be used with reconfigurable/polymorphic computing platforms, such as logic emulators (600). A user may use development tools to create visual representations of desired process algorithms, data structures, and interconnections (601-602), and system may generate intermediate data from this visual representation ((603). The Intermediate data may be used to consult a database of predefined code segments, and segments may be assembled to generate monolithic block of hardware syhthesizable (RTL, VHDL, etc.) code for implementing the user's process in hardware (604-605). Efficiencies may be accounted for to minimize circuit components or processing time. Floating point calculations may be supported by a defined data structure that is readily implemented in hardware (606).
