Recently, high-level languages such as MATLAB have become popular in prototyping algorithms domains signal and image processing. Many of these applications whose subtasks diverse execution requirements, often employ distributed, heterogeneous, reconfigurable systems. These systems consist an interconnected set heterogeneous processing resources that provide a variety architectural capabilities. The objective the MATCH (MATLAB Compiler for Heterogeneous Computing Systems) compiler project at Northwestern University is to make it easier users develop efficient code distributed computing Towards this end we are implementing evaluating experimental prototype software system will take descriptions various applications, automatically map them on environment consisting embedded processors, digital processors field-programmable gale arrays built from commercial off-the-shelf components. We overview discuss testbed which being used demonstrate our ideas. present preliminary results some benchmark programs with use compiler.
