N2 - The paper addresses the problem of mapping an application specified as a task graph on a heterogeneous architecture which contains a software processor, a dynamically reconfigurable hardware coprocessor and memory elements. The problem comprises of three sub-problems: partitioning of tasks between hardware and software, assigning tasks mapped on hardware to different temporal segments and scheduling task execution, reconfiguration of hardware, inter-processor and intra-processor communication. We present a heuristic based technique for solving the problem. The effectiveness of the technique is demonstrated by a case study of the JPEG image compression algorithm and experimentation with synthetic graphs.
