Synthesis of pipelined DSP accelerators with dynamic scheduling
To construct complete systems on silicon, application speci c DSP accelerators are needed to speed up the execution of high throughput DSP algorithms. In this paper, a methodology is presented to synthesize high throughput DSP functions into accelerator processors containing a datapath of highly pipelined, bitparallel hardware units. Emphasis will be put on the de nition of a controller architecture that allows ecient run-time schedules of these DSP algorithms on such highly pipelined data paths. The methodology will be illustrated by means of an FFT butter y accelerator block. 1 Motivation Complexdigitalsystems such as the videophone terminal of gure 1 typically consist out of a heterogeneous mix of hardware blocks: processor cores, general purpose macro blocks, and dedicated accelerator processors. These accelerator blocks are required to execute high performant DSP functions such as motion estimation and DCT/IDCT functions. In this paper we will concentrate on the generation of s...
