Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to raise the design productivity of reconfigurable systems, a design method was proposed, to which software developers can join the FPGA development, based on KPN (Kahn Process Network) parallel process model by utilizing component technology of an interface by the standard distributed object CORBA. To implement, test and run the KPN model of the application on an FPGA, following items are developed: (1) a simulation environment of KPN models for its functionality and performance, (2) run-time environment of the KPN model on an FPGA and (3) three demonstration systems to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
