Abstract
An embodiment of the invention includes a system for partitioning a control-flow graph representation into a reconfigurable portion and an instruction processor portion. Another embodiment of the invention includes a method of partitioning a control-dataflow graph representation that includes dividing the control-dataflow graph into two or more partition blocks, comparing the estimated performance of at least one of the partition blocks as reconfigurable logic versus instruction processor code; and assigning said at least one of the partition blocks to reconfigurable hardware or an instruction processor based on said comparing step.
