High level synthesis tools transform an algorithmic description to a register transfer language (RTL) description of the hardware. The algorithm behavior is typically described in...
We present a technique for synthesizing power- as well as area-optimized circuits from hierarchical data flow graphs under throughput constraints. We allow for the use of complex...
This paper proposes a novel Behavioral Synthesis method that improves performance of synthesized circuits utilizing specialized functional units effectively. Specialized functional...
The concept of improving the timing behavior of a circuit by relocating flip-flops is called retiming and was first presented by Leiserson and Saxe. The ASTRA algorithm propose...
We propose a post-placement physical synthesis algorithm that can apply multiple circuit synthesis and placement transforms on a placed circuit to improve the critical path delay ...
