摘要： The invention comprises (i) a compilation method for automatically converting a single-threaded software program into an application-specific supercomputer, and (ii) the supercomputer system structure generated as a result of applying this method. The compilation method comprises: (a) Converting an arbitrary code fragment from the application into customized hardware whose execution is functionally equivalent to the software execution of the code fragment; and (b) Generating interfaces on the hardware and software parts of the application, which (i) Perform a software-to-hardware program state transfer at the entries of the code fragment; (ii) Perform a hardware-to-software program state transfer at the exits of the code fragment; and (iii) Maintain memory coherence between the software and hardware memories. If the resulting hardware design is large, it is divided into partitions such that each partition can fit into a single chip. Then, a single union chip is created which can realize any of the partitions.

摘要： A method is described to partition the memory of application-specific hardware compiled from a software program. Applying the invention generates multiple small memories that need not be kept coherent and are defined over a specific region of the program. The invention creates application specific hardware which preserves the memory image and addressing model of the original software program. The memories are dynamically initialized and flushed at the entries and exits of the program region they are defined in.
