Synthesis and optimization of interfaces between hardware modules with incompatible protocols
V. Androutsopoulos, Thomas J. Clarke, Mike Brookes · 2003
In this paper, we present a new algorithm that performs automatic interface synthesis between two synchronous hardware modules with incompatible data communication protocols. We introduce the Data Path State Machine (DPSM) which captures data path dependencies. This allows control logic for data paths to be synthesized which is optimized for bandwidth over multiple transactions.
