Abstract
A method is described to partition the memory of application-specific hardware compiled from a software program. Applying the invention generates multiple small memories that need not be kept coherent and are defined over a specific region of the program. The invention creates application specific hardware which preserves the memory image and addressing model of the original software program. The memories are dynamically initialized and flushed at the entries and exits of the program region they are defined in.
