Abstract:
1. In a computing device, a method for generating code from a model for a hardware implementation of the model, the method comprising: providing, via a processing unit associated with the computing device, a plurality of interface types for an interface between two components of the model, each of the plurality of interface types including size, clock, and power parameters for the model, the plurality of interface types further including at least two of: receiving, via the processing unit, at least two selections, from the provided plurality of interface types, for the interface between the two components; determining, via the processing unit and from the at least two selections from the provided plurality of interface types, an interface type, for the interface between the two components, using a balancing algorithm and a weighted combination of the size, power, and clock parameters for the model; and automatically generating, via the processing unit, code representative of the determined interface type for the interface between the two components.
