Abstract
Disclosed are method and apparatus for synthesizing communication support based on communication types of an application. In the integrated circuit design method, an application schedule is provided for the application. The application schedule describes a plurality of units for performing specified tasks and one or more communication links between the specified tasks. After receiving the application schedule, the communication type is determined for each of the communication links in the application schedule as an asynchronous communication or a synchronous communication. Then, for each of the asynchronous communications, it is determined whether each asynchronous communication can be transformed into a semi-synchronous communication that uses an interrupt and a bus to transfer data. A communication support is synthesized for the semi-synchronous communications as synchronous communications by using the interrupt and the bus. In addition, a communication support may be synthesized for the asynchronous communications that were determined not to be semi-synchronous communications.
