Real time signal, image and control applications have very important time constraints, involving the use of several powerful numerical calculation units. The aim of our project is to develop a fast prototyping process dedicated to parallel architectures made of several last generation Texas Instruments digital signal processors : TMS320C6X DSP. We use SynDEx, a CAD software developed to improve algorithm implementation onto multiprocessor architectures, finding the best matching between an algorithm and an architecture. We have developed a SynDEx executive kernel for the C6X DSP family, in order to automatically generate a distributed and optimized static executive of the specified algorithm onto those processors.
