1. PREFACE

This manual is a reference for generating distributed-memory multiprocessing
applications from Simulink

models.

1.1.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

Before you begin, you should be familiar with developing and managing simulation models in
Simulink

. The software toolkit presented in this document will help an experienced Simulink

architect to realize their model on special purpose digital signal processing hardware.

It will be extremely beneficial if experience with embedded digital signal processing algorithms and
tools from the Texas Instruments family of processors is available as well. For designs targeting field-
programmable gate array (FPGA) technology, experience with implementation of designs in very high
level hardware description language (VHDL) and tools from the Xilinx family of FPGAs will be
beneficial.

It is not necessary for the Simulink

architect to have these skills directly, but individuals should be on

hand with these skills to assist the architect with optimization options, design trade-offs and analysis of
performance results.
