Abstract: In general, model-based design flows start from hardware-agnostic models and finally generate code based on the used model of computation (MoC). The generated code is then manually mapped with an additional non-trivial deployment step onto the chosen target architecture. This additional manual step can break all correctness-by-construction guarantees of the used model-based design, in particular, if the chosen architecture employs a different MoC than the one used in the model. To automatically bridge this gap, we envisage a holistic model-based design framework for heterogeneous synthesis that allows the modeling of a system using a combination of different MoCs. Second, it integrates the standard hardware abstractions using the Open Computing Language (OpenCL) to promote the use of vendor-neutral heterogeneous architectures. Altogether, we envision an automatic synthesis that maps models using a combination of different MoCs on heterogeneous hardware architectures. This paper evalu ates the feasibility of incorporating OpenCL as a standard hardware abstraction for such a framework. The evaluation is presented as a case study to map a synchronous application on different target architectures using the OpenCL specification. (More)
