Abstract— The success of classical high level synthesis has been limited by the complexity of the applications it can handle, typically not large enough to necessitate the depart...
In high-level synthesis, as for compilers, an important question is when register assignment should take place. Unlike compilers for which the processor architecture is given, syn...
- New algorithms for high-level synthesis are presented. The first performs scheduling under hardware resource constraints and improves on commonly used list scheduling techniques ...
Much effort in register transfer level (RTL) design has been devoted to developing "push-button" types of tools. However, given the highly complex nature, and lack of con...
An inherent performance gap between custom designs and ASICs is one of the reasons why many designers still start their designs from register transfer level (RTL) description rath...
