Abstract

This paper describes a general transformation theory in transforming a sequential C application to Kahn Process Network. It brie?y describes in detail the two major transformation steps namely task partitioning and channel generation. We also discuss the previous approaches which automate the transformation from sequential model to parallel model and compare these with our approach.
