Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper proposes a method to generate parallel C code from
models developed on the Simulink which is a model-based
development tool. Although a number of new frameworks are
researched for developing parallel software based on data flows
and pipeline processing to exploit their inherent data
parallelism or task parallelism, such new frameworks have
difficulty in the transition from existing languages. To avoid
that transition, we focus on the Simulink, which has been popular
in the field of control systems as a model development tool on a
model-based development method. If it would be possible to
generate parallel C code from existing models developed on the
Simulink, there should be no need to switch languages for
parallelization from the Simulink. The proposed method in this
paper generates parallel C code from the Simulink in a way of
applying the theory of communicating sequential processes
(CSP). Under the generation process, to determine the execution order
of blocks in models, the proposed method eliminates loop structures
in models. While data items are transferred through communication
on the CSP, they are stored and shared in double buffers on the
proposed method. On the experiment of applying the method for an
audio processing model, the execution time of the parallelized code
could be reduced successfully to 26.3% on the NaviEngine CPU
running at 400MHz with eSOL eT-Kernel SMP, compared with that of the
sequential code.
