In this paper we propose a flow based on the Bayesian Optimization Algorithm (BOA) for mapping pipelined applications on a heterogeneous multiprocessor platform on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with customizable processors. BOA is a Probabilistic Model Building Genetic Algorithm (PMBGA) that, substituting the classical mutation and crossover operators with the construction and the sampling of a Bayesian network, is able to identify correlated sub-structures within the problem to be maintained while generating new solutions.
