Abstract
In any heterogeneous system, porting reconfigurable computing is often a high
performance platform for a broad range of computationally challenging issues.
However, efficiently utilizing the maximum potential of these reconfigurable
systems is a difficult job without understanding their performance
characteristics. This work proposes an analytic performance model using Petri
Nets (PN) for a Reconfigurable OR1200 (ROR1200) soft-core processor with model
validation and verifications. By modeling the ROR1200 system using Petri Nets,
both behavioral and structural properties existing in parallel systems were
analyzed. The Bound Level Analysis with respect to the dependency level of data
is also performed on Soft Core Processors (SCP) like the ROR1200, the OR1200
and the MicroBlaze.
