B13: The framework for parallel computing systems design

Abstract This paper presents a framework design solution for parallel computing digital systems design. The framework uses the Simulink software as a standard design entry tool. The key role in the Framework design plays the netlist compiler, which is a stand-alone programm, created in C++. The framework assumes to be used for creating the parallel systems with distributed memory and can be targetted to powerful FPGA devices. So the computing systems designed in the Framework are naturally synchronnous and the language finally used for describing the system is the VHDL. The Simulink software together with a designed netlist compiler constitutes an Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
