    International Journal of Computer Science & Information Technology (IJCSIT) Vol 4, No 2, April 2012 MPP SOCGEN: A FRAMEWORK FOR AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF MPP SOC ARCHITECTURE Emna Kallel, Yassine Aoudni, Mouna Baklouti and Mohamed Abid Electrical department, Computer Embedded System Laboratory, ENIS School, Sfax, Tunisia ABSTRACT Automatic code generation is a standard method in software engineering since it improves the code consistency and reduces the overall development time. In this context, this paper presents a design flow for automatic VHDL code generation of mppSoC (massively parallel processing System-on-Chip) configuration. Indeed, depending on the application requirements, a framework of Netbeans Platform Software Tool named MppSoCGEN was developed in order to accelerate the design process of complex mppSoC. Starting from an architecture parameters design, VHDL code will be automatically generated using parsing method. Configuration rules are proposed to have a correct and valid VHDL syntax configuration. Finally, an automatic generation of Processor Elements and network topologies models of mppSoC architecture will be done for Stratix II device family. Our framework improves its flexibility on Netbeans 5.5 version and centrino duo Core 2GHz with 22 Kbytes and 3 seconds average runtime. Experimental results for reduction algorithm validate our MppSoCGEN design flow and demonstrate the efficiency of generated architectures. KEYWORD MppSoC, Automatic code generation; mppSoC configuration;parsing ; MppSoCGEN; 1. INTRODUCTION Parallel machines are most often used in many modern applications that need regular parallel algorithms and high computing resources, such as image processing and signal processing. Massively parallel architectures, in particular Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) systems, have shown to be powerful executers for data-intensive applications [1].

Software and hardware are epistemologically different artifacts • This leads to different innovation and conflict models in software and hardware projects • The success of the open distributed approach in ”close-to-hardware” software development (e.g. Linux kernel) is partly explained by this epistemological difference • 2. Close-to-hardware software, social software, and hardware are different • Close-to-hardware software development is easy to distribute because the developer community consists of a homogenous network of people and tools • There exists a ”phenomenological bottleneck:” Real hardware can only be approximated using digital representations; distributed hardware projects can therefore be really hard • There also exists a ”political bottleneck:” Social software can be hard as there are multiple interpretations and systems of meaning © I.
