Abstract :
We are going to focus on the study and the design of MPSOC systems, more precisely as part of improving the performances of the applications implanted on MPSOC architecture. The objective of this research is to study the problems of the passage from a purely software realization to a realization admitting one or several hardware components and to elaborate a methodology of automatic generation of the migration of a software task into a hardware component in MPSOC systems. The fact of transforming a software task into a hardware task leads to many changes, so much of the hardware side (connection, requirement of an interruption controller, ...), of the software side (a task at least, Inputs/Outputs(I/O), synchronization, ...) and from an architectural point of view, notable aspects of memorization of data. Experimentation is made on the MJPEG decoder to illustrate the effectiveness of our tool of automatic generation of migration.
