Abstract — This paper presents a functional-space decomposition approach to enhance the capability of symbolic simulation. In our symbolic simulator, the control part and datapat...
—We address the problem of code optimization for embedded DSP microprocessors. Such processors (e.g., those in the TMS320 series) have highly irregular datapaths, and conventiona...

C-slow retiming (changing a design to support multiple instances of a computation) and datapath-aware placement have long been advocated by members of the FPGA synthesis community...
