Performance Increase by Software Decomposition with Characteristics of Combinational Logic

Software development for multicore or multiprocessor systems is complex and error prone. The development of sequential source code is familiar and a proven procedure. The model presented in this paper can help to make use of current hardware architectures with existing software. This model makes a change in execution possible and could lead to hardware software co-design. This paper presents a way to decompose sequential software. The characteristics are used for new arrangements of the fragments and in software visualization. The visualization supports the developers in understanding internal dependencies. Some improvements in visual presentation by reducing complexity are discussed.
