Abstract
The use of reconfigurable hardware has become more attractive for usage in Digital Signal processing the last few years as well as the use of CAD tools for manipulation of specific DSP or as a mean for simulation. To be more specific, the CAD-tools enable the users to create, modify, simulate and provide valuable feedback about the respective hardware long before creation. This research deals with the design of CAD Tools for the creation and manipulation of medium-grained DSP algorithms by encapsulating minor components and merging them into larger modules by detailed feedback from the CAD0-tool throughout the programming and simulation. The architecture used is a result of several years' research by the High Performance Computer Systems (HiperCops) research group at Washington State University to accelerate digital signal processing. Furthermore the CAD-tools includes features to create and design complicated DSP algorithms through the graphical interface, and creating generic modules by abstracting the functionality of designed sections and mapping them to other sections of the architecture. As a tool for evaluation and benchmarking, CAD tools can greatly enhance the usage of the final product and provide valuable feedback from the design of the hardware architecture through the graphical user interface.
