Implementations of IF-statements in the TODOS microarchitecture synthesis system

In microarchitecure synthesis, early algorithms considered only a single implementation technique for IF -statements. Focus was on scheduling and on maximum hardware sharing. In this paper, we present available options in more detail. They are described by using explicit program transformations. Some of these techniques have the potential to consider optimizations beyond the classical basic block boundary while maintaining the simplicity of basic-block oriented approaches. Keyword Codes:
