Abstract
A method of partitioning an algorithm between hardware and software includes accepting a user defined algorithm specified in a source code, identifying worker methods and feature extraction methods within the user defined algorithm, replacing worker methods in the source code with hardware logic, replacing feature extraction methods with a combination of hardware logic and software libraries that interface with the hardware logic, and outputting an FPGA programming specification of the hardware logic and interface libraries.
