Abstract
A computing system (10) and a method for designing the computing system (10) using hardware and software components. The computing system (10) includes programmable coprocessors (12, 13) having the same architectural style. Each coprocessor includes a sequencer (36) and a programmable interconnect network (34) and a varying number of functional units and storage elements. The computing system (10) is designed by using a compiler (71) to generate a host microprocessor code from a portion of an application software code and a coprocessor code from the portion of the application software code. The compiler (71) uses the host microprocessor code to determine the execution speed of the host microprocessor and the coprocessor code to determine the execution speed of the coprocessor and selects one of the host microprocessor or the coprocessor for execution of the portion of the application software code. Then the compiler (71) creates a code that serves as the software program.
